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.

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 KZread and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, KZread, 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.
