I’m on the stunning Col de la Colombiere testing the new DJI Osmo 360 camera – starting from Sallanches at 6am – its Golden hour on the Col de la Colombiere and today I;m riding the Hors Categorie climb from the Cluses side.
Welcome to our Cycling in the Alps and the stunning northern French Alps! This climb route takes us through some of the most stunning and challenging terrain in the northern Alps, near Chamonix, Megeve, and Combloux.

The Colombiere and Col des Aravis loop is nearly 100km long with 1900M of climbing. Here’s the full ride. https://www.strava.com/activities/15443084076
I’ve recently bought a DJI Osmo 360 camera and today was its first test. Have yo bought a DJI Osmo 360? What do you think of it?
The Col de la Colombiere is a Tour de France regular and also features in the Haute Route and Geneva to Nice.

The heatwave continued this week in the Alps. With a pre 6am start I was on the Colombiere an hour later with the new DJI OSMO 360. What do you think of the footage compared to the GoPro?
Like the video Mike 👍 the camera definitely gives a lot of great views. Looks a great day, Derek and me did that route before leaving, we noticed a lot of butterflies at the top of the Colombiere, as you said it’s stunning
