Bourg d'Oisans (Alpes - France )

Our home town Bourg d'Oisans sits at 750 metres above sea leveland the base of Alpe d'Huez (made famous by the Tour de France ). It lies at the point at which six contrasting valleys, known collectively as the Oisans, meet. It has been used as a start town in the Tour de France on many occasions - the last being in 2008.

Due to its central position in this area, Bourg d'Oisans is the ideal location for a road bike holiday in the Alps. The Col du Glandon and Croix de fer, and the Telegraph and Galibier are all within reach, and because Bourg d?Oisans is at the valley, all the rides will end with an amazing alpine decent into and along the valley to town.

The town has a population of approximately 3000 people which swells in the summer season with its cycling visitors. The town has plenty of bars and restaurants set along the main streets along with an abundance of patisseries and grocery and gift shops and a few cycle stores. When you are not cycling, the town has a great outdoor swimming pool open July and August, along with a tennis and squash centre, Museums and a small cinema.
