Col de la Madeleine — 3D relief map

Description

A trophy worthy of the Col de la Madeleine

The Col de la Madeleine rises to 2,000 metres in the Lauzière massif, between the Maurienne and the Tarentaise. Rated hors catégorie in the Tour de France, it is one of the most respected climbs in the Alps. Its steady slopes, its 25 or so kilometres of effort and its views over the surrounding ranges make it a goal you never forget. This 3D map is made so you never will.

From route to trophy

Every object comes from a three-step process, from digital to tangible.

• The GPX track of your climb is converted into precise topographic data.
• The relief of the pass is 3D-printed, layer by layer, with the route of the climb raised on the map.
• The oak base is laser-engraved with the distance, elevation gain, average gradient and the name of the pass.

The Col de la Madeleine in 3D relief

The Col de la Madeleine rises to 2,000 metres in the Lauzière massif, on the edge of Savoie. Rated hors catégorie, it can be climbed from several valley villages, each with its own profile. The map faithfully reproduces this Alpine relief, with its flatter sections, its tougher stretches and the final ridge line. Distance, elevation gain and average gradient are engraved on the base, an exact record of the effort.

The trophy of your climb
