Begin your adventure in the fairy-tale town of Annecy, often referred to as the "Venice of the Alps." This mesmerizing place, cradled between Lake Annecy and majestic mountains, serves as the gateway to your cycling odyssey. The town's tranquil canals, medieval structures, and local gastronomy provide a serene start to an expedition that will soon take you to thrilling heights. 

The heart of your journey lies in conquering the revered trails and passes that have made the French Alps a cycling mecca. From the iconic climbs of the Tour de France, like the formidable Col du Glandon and Col de la Colombière, to the legendary Alpe d'Huez with its 21 hairpin turns, every pedal stroke takes you deeper into cycling lore. But it's not just about the ascent. The swift descents, winding through alpine meadows and dense forests, offer moments of pure exhilaration. 

But the Alps are not just a challenge; they are a canvas of natural beauty. Revel in unparalleled vistas, from sun-kissed peaks to shadowed valleys. Pause to soak in the sight of Mont Blanc in the distance or the gentle flutter of wildflowers in the breeze. The evenings are marked by cozy stays in charming towns, where stories are exchanged over hearty Savoyard dinners.

Every day is a new chapter, a mix of grit, beauty, camaraderie, and the profound satisfaction of achievement. 

Delight in the freedom to stop and discover at your own pace, picking your own highlights en route. Moreover, take comfort in our 24/7 support, ready to assist you every step of your journey.
