Contemporary cycling photography of the great European cycling climbs. Including iconic climbs of the Pyrenees, the Dolomites, the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps. From the Passo Stelvio to the Col du Galibier, the Col du Tourmalet to the Col d'Aubisque. These contemporary photography prints capture the fundamental essence, beauty, and grandeur of these famous mountain climbs, featured every year in the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia.
It's important to understand that cyclists are fanatics. It comes with the territory. Don't expect them to be normal. For a bike rider, cycling 27km. up a mountain for no apparent reason is normal. They do it for the challenge. They do it because they can, for the thrill of it, for the kudos, for the buzz. For the sense of elation that comes with being in the middle of a landscape so impressive it takes your breath away. To know without a shadow of a doubt, this is a good day, a great day, a day to remember, a day that counts.
All our photography prints are fine art Giclée prints printed on 308gsm fine art paper. They are of the highest quality, bleach-free, and will last many years. All prints are bespoke, hand-printed to order. Please allow a few working days for printing and dispatch.
Considering the immense scale of the mountains, an A1 print size is recommended for these pictures.
The Italian and Swiss Alps are tough guy - tough girl territory. You know who you are. Here is where the men get sorted from the boys, the women from the girls. These climbs are often on a different scale, either in altitude, or length, sometimes remoteness, or all of the above.
