About Alpe d'Huez

Alpe d'Huez is probably the most famous climb in the Tour De France and the first climb that most of our guests want to do. Our property in Bourg d'Oisans is only 5 minutes from the start of the climb and is really the best place to be based to tackle it.

Each Monday or Thursday during the summer months you have the chance to climb the 21 hairpin bend climb of Alpe d'Huez in the Grimpe de L’Alpe a 13km mass participation event from Bourg d'Oisans to the ski station of Alpe d’Huez. Each rider will be given their own personal time.

The climb is also used at the end of La Marmotte sportive and the Dutch Alpe d'Huzes charity cycle event where a single or team of riders climb Alpe d'Huez 6 times.
