with the turn of a wheel

It’s summertime, leave your car behind and hop onto your bike! Come and join the cyclists wheeling along from one mountain pass to the next. It’s time to start training and get your calves into shape… The Maurienne offers an great choice of tarmac roads and unpaved tracks. Alternatively, you can just wave your “Ricard” cap as the peloton swishes by and leave the sweating up to the Tour de France champions!

The mountain passes by bike

The Tour de France’s reputation was forged on these roads. Cycle uphill in the cool of the morning so that when you get to the top you can really appreciate the view - and enjoy a well-earned picnic!

things to do

- the greatest bike racers of the Tour de France have cursed the Galibier pass! Here is an opportunity to test your limits : a total climb of 2,098 metres over 34 km!
- the Madeleine is a strategic pass, yet another Tour myth: measure your strength against Richard Virenque, one of the greatest climbers in biking history.
- two in one: from the Glandon pass to the Croix-de-Fer, relish the panoramic view over the “needle peaks” of the Arves.
- climb the Iseran (2,770 m), one of the highest mountain passes in Europe, and shake hands with the mountain tops.
