First featured in Zwift’s Climb Portal Schedule in June 2024, the Col de la Couillole is the final climb of the IRL L’Etape du Tour de France and also the finishing climb for stage 20 of the 2024 Tour de France! (It also appears regularly in the Paris-Nice race.)
This col can be climbed from two different directions: Beuil in the west, and Saint-Sauveur-sur-Tinée in the east. Zwift’s segment climbs from Saint-Sauveur-sur-Tinée, the longer and more popular direction.
