The Amazing Auris Balcony Road and Col de Cluy (France) - Indoor Cycling Training

The Auris Balcony Road is a scenic mountain road in the French Alps. It winds its way through the picturesque countryside, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and villages. As you cycle along the route, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, lush forests, and charming alpine villages. The road attracts tourists from around the world. You start the ride in Bourg d’Oisans and for a short while you follow the same route as the world-famous climb to Alpe d’Huez. You turn off, follow the famous balcony road, and climb with amazing views of the valley of Bourg d’Oisans. This is one of the most enjoyable parts of the ride. As you leave the balcony road, the amazing view continues all the way up to Col de Cluy.
In this ride-along video, you ride at the speed of a pro rider. If you want to ride at your own speed, please look below for how you can make that possible with our indoor cycling app Open Road.
Take your indoor cycling to the next level with our indoor cycling app Open Road:

The app lets you ride the ride for real and provides a better and more realistic indoor cycling experience compared to our ride-along videos on KZbin.

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is outstanding. But with music, opinions are very mixed. So we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute KZbin and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, KZbin, etc…) pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride. We have left the original sound of the ride out. This is because of the noise from passing cars, vibrations from the road, wind, and the rider's breathing drowns the natural sound of the surroundings.

Awesome ride! I'm amazed at the big change in the scenery from one end to the other. 😊😅 Thanks!

[@BiketheWorld]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@adriantimmis749]

I love the balcony roads around Bourg

[@BiketheWorld]

Yeah, they are amazing :-)

[@kenwynn3871]

This is amazing! I just used this for training and it is epic, brilliantly done thank you!

[@BiketheWorld]

You're so welcome!

[@Silossimo]

Merci beaucoup pour le partage. La route (bien entretenue) et les paysages sont magnifiques; ici, au moins, il y a des parapets de sécurité. Par contre, au Galibier si quelqu'un rate la route ou prend la tangente, on le ramasse au fond de la vallée.

[@Kanal472]

Thanx guys again agreat video

[@BiketheWorld]

Our pleasure!

[@gesp5151]

[@tomhodge8237]

Thanks!

[@BiketheWorld]

Thanks Tom, your support is much appreciated :-)

[@Kanal472]

Better than Alpe d'Huez the 'ugly'

[@user-jk8or3vx7p]

natural sounds are much better than this screaming savagery

[@frankdigiovanni3666]

Who convinced you to play “music” during your videos??? No offence but I couldn’t peddle 30 seconds listening to that….it’s impossible to pick something to please everyone- go back to SILENCE

[@BiketheWorld]

Thank you for your comment. Adding music is an experiment. And very interesting statistics show this video is more popular than any other video we have published in the last year. No matter the kind of soundtrack (natural, music, etc) we always encourage to add one's own music to the ride. It is easily done by muting the soundtrack of the video.

[@michaelgreed2680]

Yep, I mute the soundtrack and have my own playlist. Great scenery! Many thanks! @@BiketheWorld
