Famed as a training hill, exactly where the pros commence their battle with the clock on the ‘classic’ start is a constant cause of debate. Regardless of how long it takes, a successful summit is rewarded with a view towards Peille and the higher mountains with Madone being a gateway Col that unlocks the door to a whole host of other climbs and routes in the Alpes Maritimes.

Col de la Madone is part of our Montagnes à la Carte series, head over to bit.ly/3BmcclB and claim your badge if you rode this classic.
