The Col d'Izoard is another Tour de France and Giro d'Italia classic having been used over 20 times since the 1920s. It is the third highest climb on our tours rising to 2361 metres. At the summit there is a small museum with a memorial to the greats of the 1950's Fausto Coppi and Louision Bobet. We climb the Col d'Izoard from both sides - but it does depending on the tour that you are on. The climb from the south is probably the more interesting as it takes you through the famous casse desert landscape
