There's more than one way up. Plus where do you measure too, the entrance to to the village itself, or the actual Tour stage finish?
Don't ever do a segment search for Alpe d'Huez though, there are hundreds, many of which aren't anywhere near France.

I have a terrible habit of just riding till the hill ends. Which sounds fine. But up here you can find yourself on a washed out mud trail, trying to sqeeze every once of traction out of Your horribly expensive tubs, and trying not to think about descending over exposed rock on carbon rims.......
I then og home, create it as a segment, and do it again. Instant KOM.

Alp D'Huez must be the most well defined Climb in the world. Theres one road from start to finish*. Why does it have dozens of fecking segments. Meh.
