Highlights
Even better than our 4 night program, this tour offers a few changes of hotels and takes you even further into the region to ride more mountain passes and see more of this beautiful region. You will put your climbing legs to the test on the famous mountains passes (cols) of Croix de Fer, the backside of the Galibier, the Izoard, and of course, the monstrous Alpe d'Huez. If you are an experienced and passionate rider looking for the ultimate challenge, then come experience the cols where cycling legends made their marks. Upon your arrival in the village of Alpe d'Huez you will get a detailed briefing about the cycling possibilities in the area, the best routes, and organizational tips to get the most out of this great cycling holiday. After your rides, you can relax in comfortable mountain hotels and enjoy hardy alpine dinners to fuel you for your next mountain challenge.
