Col de Sarenne - Day 6

The Col de Sarenne is a narrow undulating road that continues on past the Alpe d'Huez ski resort and tops out about 8 km further on at 1989 metres. It is a beautiful road that although is close to civilization  feels really quite remote due to the fact that parts of the road are a little rough (indeed in the winter this route makes up the longest black ski run in Europe). Once at the top of the Col de Sarenne there is a huge technical switchback road descent down to the Barage du Chambon at the foot of Les Deux Alpes (Day 5).
