‘Route des Grandes alpes’ — Cycling over 1000 Km across the French alps

Elevation? This had never played a role for me as a cyclist living in northern Germany — until now. The only thing thats in my way, riding from A to B up here is the headwind. So now a new player came on the scene. After my school friend Arnold had suggested the Route des Grandes Alpes, I came to the conclusion that the only way to find out if I like it is to just give it a try.
