Verbier, the balcony resort above Le Châble in the Val de Bagnes, is one of the rare Swiss climbs with a Tour de France summit finish — 2009, where Alberto Contador exploded the race to win the stage and take yellow. The Tour de Suisse has also finished here (2012, Verbania–Verbier). About 8.8 km at 7.5% from Le Châble, a steady balcony ascent.
