Theme

The Club des Cent Cols, founded in 1972, is affiliated to the French Cycling Federation under No. 6384, offers you this permanent walk based on a simple theme: "One hundred passes".

One hundred passes, either to allow you to join the Confrérie du Club des Cent Cols, or to allow you to progress in the Confrérie's "Tableau d'Honneur", or in any case to help you discover or rediscover the Alps in all their aspects.

One hundred passes, the main ones in the French Alps, one hundred passes that will take you on a breathtaking mountain bike tour.

One hundred and four passes (including 5 at an altitude of over 2,000m) over 1,580km (for a total climb of at least 28,000m), with the option of including Mont Ventoux as a variant for the insatiable.
