The French Alps are home to the most famous Tour de France climbs and our packages will take in the finest of them all. Each trip can be adapted to the groups’ requirements, we take into account fitness, the weather conditions etc to ensure that you get the maximum enjoyment.
From Geneva airport we transfer you to our True Alpine village, a short drive from the boutique ski resort of Megeve. We are situated at the foot of the ‘Col des Saisies’ and ‘Col des Aravis’ climbs which is where you will be based for the duration of your stay. This is the region where France meets Switzerland and Italy and the scenery is some of the most breathtaking in Europe. From here we will take in some local rides before tackling the mighty passes of the Savoie region such as the ‘Forclaz’, ‘Colombiere’, ‘Telegraph’ and ‘Galibier’. All of these passes are included in the itinerary and you’ll soon discover that each has its own appeal and each offers its own unique set of challenges. Of course, no True Alpine cycle tour would be complete without a pilgrimage to the great ‘Alpe d’Huez’. This tour has 21 numbered hairpins, is 14 kilometres in total and has an average gradient of 8.3%. This is a must for those who love to climb and marks a very fitting end to our journey around the legendary ‘Cols of The Tour’.
Support Vehicle
At strategic points (where access allows) you have the security of our support vehicle. There will be sufficient capacity in the support vehicle for tired bikers to take a well-earned break and there is ample room to leave those extra layers, spare kit etc. during the day ensuring that you do not have to carry any equipment other than that you would carry on a normal day ride.
