Ride
On a ride from our house in the centre of Bourg d'Oisans
you will be able to feel the history of the Tour De France
as you ride over the names of many past greats painted on
the roads. As you climb or descend you will get to see
fantastic scenery including snow capped mountains beautiful
lakes and rivers and a fair few other cyclist all sharing
the same breathtaking experience as you.
Along the way you will find idyllic cafes and restaurants
in traditional alpine villages perched on the side of the
mountains. Here you will be welcomed in by the owners for
the traditional coffee or snack.
The area is frequently included in the
Tour De France and
the Marmotte is held every year in July.
Also in the summer months the local tourist office
provide a timed race up Alpe d'Huez on a Monday evening or
Thursday morning.
This area really is a mecca for the road cyclist seeking
to challenge themselves like the great Tour De France
heroes.
As part of our service, if you like our support vehicle can drive you to your start
location in the morning so that you can ride back to Bourg
d'Oisans or if you prefer we can come and pick you up in the
afternoon. We are also available to pick you up in
case of any serious mechanical or injury and bring you back
to base. (This service is not available on Wednesdays)
We will also provide printed maps and route ideas to help
you on your way.
We are also happy to help with any fettling!
