The famous Gran Fondo La Marmotte is a 170-kilometer road cycling race. The La Marmotte 2024 includes many legendary cols of the Tour de France. Cycle up Col du Glandon, Col du Galibier, Col du Lautaret and the Alpe d’Huez. The date of the Gran Fondo La Marmotte 2024 is confirmed for Sunday, June 30. Every year the Gran Fondo La Marmotte will take place on a tough course in the French Alps around the Alpe d’Huez.
