Tour De France

Stage 16- Swiss Alps. One of the toughest stages in the race.

Riders scaled the highest peak of this Tour, the snowcapped Grand-Saint-Bernard pass on the Swiss-Italian border that is 8,113 feet. Its sister, the Petit-Saint-Bernard pass on the Italian-French border, was the day's other big climb, and each was at least 13 1/2 miles.
