Where to stay

Watching on race day
A climb this long and steep is where the race splits up, so any spot on the slopes gives you time to see the riders. Bastille Day brings big French crowds, so get there early. Roads close to cars well before the riders arrive.
Ride it yourself
At 8.3% for more than 12 km, the Bisanne rarely lets up. Pace yourself from the bottom, ride early in the day, and carry enough water.
