La Grand Marmotte is a cycling sportive set in the French Alps. The 2023 version has a distance of 186km and over 5600 metres of elevation. It begins in the town of Bourg d'Oisans heading west towards the first climb Col de la Croix de Fer. Originally for 2023, Col du Gladon would have been the next mountain pass but it was changed at the last minute to Col du Mollard. After Col du Mollard, we rode some flat ground along the valley and eventually climbing Col du Télégraphe immediately followed by Col du Galibier, at over 2600 metes, this is the highest point in the day. A long descent down with some riding along the valley floor we finally reach the last climb... Alpe d'Huez.
