La Marmotte is one of the most challenging cyclosportives in the world and also called “the Queen mother” off all cyclosportives. The famous Gran Fondo La Marmotte is a 170 kilometres road cycling race. The La Marmotte 2021 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 2021 is confirmed for Sunday July 4. Every year the Gran Fondo La Marmotte will take place on a tough course in French Alps around the Alpe d’Huez.
