Description
The “Road to the Sky” is the granddaddy of all Zwift climbs, introduced in 2018.
Zwift created this route using GPS data to perfectly match the incline and distance of the storied climb with its 21 hairpin turns. The climb to Alp d’Huez actually has two different finish points: the “tourist version” and the Tour de France version. Alpe du Zwift matches the tourist version, which is ~2km shorter with 40 meters less climbing than the TdF. In all, Alpe du Zwift is 12.24km long, with a total elevation gain of over 1000 meters!
You must be level 12 or above to ride Alpe du Zwift, unless you join a group event which is riding on an Alpe route.
