Flexibility on the number of days, which will enable you to fit in the maximum over a long weekend, or to take your time during a week long trip.

ETAPE DU TOUR

This year on the July 21st 2019, our clients braved the 135km from Albertville to Val Thorens, and desite the heat and the cramps made it through the suffering to finish at the highest altitude finish in Tour history of 2365m. An unique stage as the professionnals weren’t able to ride the whole of it a week later due to landslides.

This year the Etape du Tour is down in Nice. Book weekend break with us before the Etape and we can help you with training on some previous Etape routes, race preparation and give you tips to help you survive this year’s Etape!

Explore the Dauphiné

The Dauphiné is our area of Savoie and there is plenty of cycling to be done around here; plus plenty of amazing views (when you reach the top!) and gorgeous lakes to admire.

We can take you on this tour at any time, but particularly special is while the Criterium du Dauphiné race comes through, and in which case so we will spend time following the progress of the professional teams and getting up close to the riders.
