A wild, narrow balcony road behind Alpe d'Huez, with no guardrails and a dramatic descent. Used only once by the Tour — to make history.

Stage 18 · Gap → Alpe d'Huez
Won by Christophe Riblon (FRA)
For the Tour's first-ever double ascent of Alpe d'Huez, the Col de Sarenne linked the two climbs. Tejay van Garderen led over the summit but faltered on the descent, where Riblon briefly slid off the road before recovering to win at the top of the Alpe.
