Chalet Reynard

Highlight • Restaurant

Chalet Reynard is one of those essentials when you cycle up this mythical mountain. Many people stop at the chalet, in order to comfort themselves around a drink, or a meal before the final ascent of the last six kilometers which leads to the summit.

If you don't fear surfing on steep and deep gravel, you will love this 15km S2 trail.

Stele dedicated to Tom Simpson

Highlight • Monument

Every cycling fan knows the sad story of Tom Simpson, who officially heralded the sad story of doping in cycling: Simpson collapsed during the 1967 Tour de France due to heart failure. Later it was determined that he was pumped full of amphetamines and alcohol. At the point where he collapsed, there is a memorial stone, where many cyclists stop and leave something behind, for example a water bottle.

Pass of Storms

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The storm pass is one of the last bends of the final ascent. We discover a magnificent view and very close is the memorial dedicated to Tom Simpson who died July 13, 1967 during the Tour de France of that year.
