Val Thorens ski resort hosted stage 17 of the Tour de France in 1994. The winner of the state was Nelson Rodriguez of Colombia and Miguel Induráin (ESP) won his 4th of 5 consecutive TdF's that year. At the time, this was the second highest elevation for a stage finish in the history of the Tour.
The Tour de France will return to Val Thorens for the Stage 20 finish on 27 July 2019.

Saturday. Didnt do the exact climb listed here. Rode up D96 on the east side of the valley out of Moûtiers. Three cars total, one up, two down, until I connected with the route from the west side. Much more shade too. More traffic and one of three other cyclists once on the official climb. Several little villages but didnt need food or water. Mid 60's when I left. Chilly at the top. Split of to hit Sommet Tougnete on the way back down
