Swiss Col conquerors Alain and Lillie acted on our tip off to ride up the Col de la Croix this weekend before the official opening. The Col de la Croix will be the feature climb in the 2013 Tour de Romandie with the riders climbing this Hors Catégorie Swiss classic from both sides.

The early birds (and some of the strongest riders in the region) were rewarded with epic views and took some amazing shots.
