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!
