Combinations of climbs you'd like to see in the same GT stage...

Couple of thoughts, and I actually originally thought of this one watching the penultimate stage of the Giro this past year:

Giro: Mortirolo/Gavia/Stelvio (Stelvio would have to be either first or last, and either Mortirolo or Gavia would have to be climbed from a less-difficult side.

Tour: Mont Ventoux/Alpe d'Huez (would be a long stage, and Ventoux would probably have to be climbed from the Malaucene side)

Any other suggestions?

I'm pretty sure this is already a thread...or at least there is one close enough to it.

That one was lists of new climbs they'd like to see in a Grand Tour. This is combinations of climbs (new or existing). For instance, of the five climbs I've mentioned, all of them have appeared in their respective grand tours.
