A magnificent journey across the French Alps, from Morzine to the legendary Alpe d'Huez

You’ve seen the pros do battle on the most famous climbs of the Tour de France. This is your opportunity to conquer the very same climbs as you ride this magnificent route across the French Alps.

Conquer the Col du Galibier, the Col de la Madeleine, the Col de Telegraphe, the Col de Joux Plane, the Col de la Colombiere, and of course the legendary 21 switchbacks to Alpe d’Huez.

We’ve designed a magnificent route that will introduce you to the majesty and wonder of road cycling’s most celebrated terrain.

In addition to the famous climbs mentioned above, you’ll also conquer the newest paved road in the Alps, the massive Col de la Loze, which is now rated the most challenging climb in the French Alps and first featured in the Tour de France in 2020.

Prepare for a week of awe-inspiring cycling in the French Alps!
