For most of us--French riders-who grew up with cycling and the Tour--the regions of the Alps are customarily defined by their climbs rather than by their peaks: Galibier, Aravis, Saisies, Madeleine, Alpe d'Huez, Croix de Fer are more meaninful to us than Massif des Bauges, Chartreuse, Vercors, or Queyras.

We've done these climbs, ridden these roads and mapped out amazing rides. Using the alpine diversity as a backdrop--snow-capped peaks, glaciers, green fields, and crystal-clear lakes--we can design anything you want: For individuals or small groups who want to travel on their own, we offer a wide range of self-guided tours, for those who prefer to be escorted by a local cyclist, we can design your dream trip... Just ask us.

We also take groups to view some of the world's biggest cycling events in the area or participate in some of the Alps' most prestigious cyclosportives such as La Marmotte and the Time-Megeve-Mont-Blanc.
