The Col du Noyer (1664 m) sits in the Devoluy massif in the Hautes-Alpes. The most-ridden ascent climbs the Champsaur side from the village of Le Noyer on the D17, about 6.3 km at an average of 8.6%, with the steepest pitches on the upper hairpins. The road is closed from October to May because of snow and rockfall, so it is a summer climb. It first featured in the Tour de France in 1970 and has appeared five times, most recently in 2024.
