The Great Tours (Tour, Giro, Vuelta) have famous climbs that offer magnificent moments of cycling. It is the perfect place for the great champions.

Probably, the most known they are: Alpe d'Huez, Ballon d'Alsace, Courchevel, Col du Galibier, Mont Ventoux and Col du Tourmalet at Tour de France, Passo di Gavia, Stelvio and Mortirolo at Giro d'Italia, and Alto de El Angliru and Lagos de Covadonga at Vuelta a España.

But other races, despite being less known, offer good moments of cycling as well, for example the stage of Alto da Torre at Volta a Portugal.
