If climbing and descending hairpin bends on classic Tour de France climbs is your thing, this is the week for you! The sky is the limit in terms of climbs! Minimum vertical elevation gained in a ride 1000m.
This week is suited to non-cyclists as we are based in Bourg d’Oisans and there are many other activities including hikes to waterfalls, wild swimming, arts and crafts to name a couple of options.
