my bicycletour videos about more than 120 european climbs going above 2000 m

[gyorgyigabor]

Hello !

I have been uploading my bicycle tour videos for few years. If you would see great videos or woudl get ideas where to find nice / beautiful ascents in the Alps or Pyrenées I suggest to visit my collection which is now the widest video collection about paved ascents of the Alps. Beside it contains ca. dozen of ascents of the Pyrenées + 3 ascents of the Canary islands (2* Teide plateau + wonderful climb of Roque de los Muchachos (2426 m) at La Palma).

Most of them = full HD quarily, but older videos are not full HD.
The collection: http://www.youtube.com/gyorgyigabor

Impressive!

 

[Bigpikle]

thanks - have hiked around Wengen and Grindelwald and desperately want to return there with my bike. THE most beautiful place on the planet IMHO.

 

[gyorgyigabor]

Thanks

I edited a best of video about my bicycletour that I had this summer in the Alps (1828 kms + 39441 m ) . This video contains not all of the climbs that I cycled but the most beautiful ones or most memorable ones. The following clmbs can be seen for few dozen seconds or for a minute: Passo Mortirlo, Gavia, Umbrail, Passo dello Stelvio , Forcola di Livigno , Passo dello Spluga , Juf , Oberalppass , Sustenpass (in rain + 3 degrees Celsius) , Triftalp ( 2090 m) , Moosalp (Stalden side along the vertical rockwall ) , Simplonpass , Colle Fauniera (partly above clouds) , Usseglio - Alpe Bessanetto climb (with chamois !!! ) , Col des Gondrans, La Bergerie du Bois Noir (2009 m), Col du Granon, Sestriere In the following weeks I will edit new videos about each day (1st: Granon, then La Bergerie du Bois Noir) to have videos (in my collection) about all of the paved climbs finishing above 2000 m in the French Alps. Have pleasure with the video ! (In few months time I plan to write a travelogue too) /I started a facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/cycling.high - with posts in Hungarian & in English ) where I will post infos, photos, videos about my tours, experiences (more than 30.000 kms in the Alps, Pyrenées, canary islands & Andalucia) ... about cycling high .. and plan an article or list / collection about the most wonderful paved climbs (finishing above 2000 m) of the Alps, Pyrenées, Canary islands & Andalucia (I haven't visited there Calar Alto 2 years ago I had not enough time for that) Best regards, Gábor

Hello !
Thanks for watching & enjoying "my climbs"

The following video is a hardly known ascent in France: la Bergerie du Bois Noir (2010 m). The ascent's light section started at Guillestre. I started to cycle the same road that goes to Col d'Izoard, but after the canyon I had to turn right to Ceillac and the ascent's last section was a very calm valley with a stream and with a strange part when ca 30 m long the water came out of the ground and fell down to the stream .... The paved road finished at 2010 m. I loved this climb ! It's worth visiting !

Have pleasure with it and thanks for enjoying it

Best regards, Gábor

Hello !

Here is the last video I missed to have all videos about the asphalted climbs going above 2000 m in the French Alps. (In the following post I will show that list / collection with photos and videos ) Col du Granon is a steep (9,2% for 1053 m heightdiff. --> so it's harder than the ascent of Alpe d'Huez) and wonderful climb; one of my favourite ascents. 80% of the ascent is a panoramic road and there is almost no traffic: I met ca. 2-3 vehicles during the climb. Up to now I visited twice and both occasions I rode it in sunny weather. Have pleasure with the - I think : great - video

Hey Gábor

And how's road cycling in Hungary (and if you've ridden in Serbia, Slovenia, etc.)?

Hey Gábor

And how's road cycling in Hungary (and if you've ridden in Serbia, Slovenia, etc.)?

What do You mean ?
The quality of the roads, or... ?
In Budapest there are more and more bicycle roads / paths, and lot of places where bicycles can rent. The traffic is not the best, but I usually cycle on the mountains, on paved forestry roads with no or not much traffic.

Every year a very serious bicycle event is organised: the Critical Mass -: 20-30.000 cyclists use their bike and cycle in Budapest or an hour on main roads...

Whil in Hungary there are not enough high mountaisn every summer I have a bicycle tour abroad: in the Alps, Pyrenees, or canary islands, but in the year 2012 I cycled in Andalucia. Earlier I cycled 5 times in WSlovakia to the Tatras.
I cycled minimum 100 or 1300 kms in Slovenia; that's a great place too, mainly the mountanous region

[SIZE=10pt]Hello ![/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Based on the two most famous database of the world's ascents (salite.ch , climbbybike.com ) the climb of Grosser Oscheniksee (2394 m) is the hardest or 2nd hardest paved climb of the Alps. It is situated in Austria, Carinthia. Length: 17 kms with 9,8%, but the last 10km is the hardest with no light part, with avg steepness: 13% (mainly 14-15%, sometimes 19-20%). There a 10% section should be considered as light, gentle [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] It's a serious challenge ! [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]From now on there is a detailled, long (32 min. long) video about it to motivate the cyclists to visit this epic, monster, killer climb
Enjoy it ![/SIZE]

After the last video, the following will be a .... one that could have great effect; it shows a lot-lot wonderful landscape, ascents, valleys, but beside coast too.
This is a video compilation with music, so this video can be used for a spinning training. A lot of wonderful ascents, landscapes can be watched in the video where I cycled in the last 5 years. It was recorded in the Alps, Pyrénées, Andalucia (Costa del Sol + Sierra Nevada). Few climbs that appear in the video: Mont Ventoux, Passo di Gavia, Bonette, Galibier, there are ascents that hadn't been filmed was rarely filmed ( Dürrboden), Col de la Core, Peyresourde, Ordesa National park in the Pyrénées, Pico Veleta (3394 m) in Andalucia. Few minutes about famous cycling challenges can be seen too: Monte Grappa challenge (261 km + 7241 m), Ötztaler radmarathon (228 km + 5500 m), Valtellina Extreme brevet (345 km + 8998 m). Have pleasure with the video & thanks for watching !

Hello !

Few days ago I edited a cycling video about a great and wonderful climb in Italy.
I'm happy to present this cycling video about that great, hardly known climb.
I cycled in a valley (Valle di Lanza in Piemont, Italy) and then upwards on a private road towards Alpe Bessanetto (2022 m) where I felt almost like at the end of the World. Above the clouds it was wonderful, breathtaking.... Waterfalls everywhere, only the nature and me + few clouds..... and at the end of the road: chamoises

Unforgettable !

I hope You like it and thanks for watching !
