That's probably the west side. You should check for the east side starting in Edolo.

For 6% climbs I would say la Toussuire, Courchevel and Andorra Arcalis. All have featured in the Tour lately; so it should be no problem to find some footage on Youtube.
 
Lautaret might qualify? 3,8% average with profile:

Many climbs have 3-4% at average. Montevergine, Super Besse, Agnello from French side... but what a topic starter wants to compare? :)

La Toussuire.. last stage of Criterium 2011. 3-5% climbs is very easy... above 7% very hard. more than 10% it is a kiss of death.

I mean the whole 40k version. Probably it is the same like the Galibier from the side they passed in 2006

wow i wish i had something like that here, 30 km climbing low gradient that's perfect for base training
there is a similar climb here but it's only 10 km :(
