Col de la Croix-de-Fer — 3D relief map

Description

A legendary Alpine pass, turned into a trophy

The Col de la Croix-de-Fer rises to 2,067 metres in the Grandes Rousses massif, on the border between Savoie and Isère. Rated hors catégorie in the biggest cycling races and a regular on the Tour de France route, it is one of the most feared and most coveted passes in the Northern Alps. Its winding road, sustained gradients and views of the Arvan glaciers make it a climb etched in legs and memories alike. This pass deserves a trophy that matches the effort.

From route to trophy

Every piece is made from the real topographic data of the pass. Here is how your climb takes shape:

• The GPX track of your climb is merged into the digital terrain model.
• The true relief of the pass is 3D-printed, with the route of the climb raised so it stands out immediately.
• The oak base is engraved with the name of the pass, the distance, the elevation gain and the average gradient, so every number tells the story of your effort.

The Col de la Croix-de-Fer in 3D relief

The Col de la Croix-de-Fer stands out as one of the great Alpine passes for the variety of its sides and the quality of its relief. The figures depend on the side you choose, but one thing never changes: a demanding climb, breathtaking scenery and an elevation gain you have to earn. The 3D map faithfully reproduces every flat section, every ramp and every hairpin of the pass, from real elevation data. The route of your climb is raised on the printed relief, so it stands out at a glance.

The trophy of your climb

Climbing the Col de la Croix-de-Fer is something few people do. Whether you’re a cyclist, hiker or trail runner, this climb means real effort, a personal moment, a date that matters. The 3D relief map isn’t just a decorative object. It’s the physical, permanent record of your time at the top. On a desk, a shelf or a wall, it reminds you every day of what you achieved.

Several sides to choose from

The Col de la Croix-de-Fer can be climbed from several sides. Choose the one you rode:

• From the Barrage du Verney and Allemont, on the Isère side, starting from the Romanche valley.
• From Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne via Saint-Jean-d’Arves, on the Savoie side, with the long approach up the Arvan valley.

Each side has its own elevation profile, faithfully reproduced in the 3D map.
