MenuThe Club des Cent Cols
Founded in 1972
We are a cycling club, made up of men and women of all ages, all nationalities, and all cycling disciplines. We seek out mountain passes (cols)to climb, but we are not a competitive club – our members cycle at their own pace, where and when they wish, on roads or mountain trails, alone or in groups. Some members may climb less than ten cols a year, others over a hundred. But we have all met the main Rule of the Club, which stipulates that, to become a member, you must have climbed (by bike, using only your own muscle-power) at least one hundred different cols, with five out of each hundred being over 2000m high.
Brevets routiers
The Club des Cent Cols has launched a new initiative “Brevets Routiers” (Brevets for Road Cols)
