Mark the gateway to the Galibier with this Col du Télégraphe D902 Route Sign in a square format.
For many riders, the Télégraphe is the warm-up for something much bigger. It climbs about 12 kilometres from the Maurienne valley at a remarkably consistent gradient, which makes it ideal for finding a rhythm. From the summit, the road drops into Valloire, a ski village that serves as a base for many cycling holidays, before the Galibier begins. The Tour de France usually tackles both climbs together, and the Télégraphe often sees the first attacks of the day.
A Clean style and a printed Rusted style are both listed. The square shape makes it easy to line up with other climbs in a tidy row or block. Hang it in a bike room, beside a turbo trainer or above a workbench as a metal sign; it is a decorative piece, not a salvaged road sign.
Pair it with the Col du Galibier D902 Route Sign – Square, Col de la Madeleine D213 Route Sign – Square or Col du Tourmalet D918 Route Sign – Square, and find the rest in our Tour de France signs.
