Test your strength on the infamous cols of the Tour de France, such as the famous Alpe d’Huez, Lautaret and Galibier among many others. The place to be during the Tour de France, the Alps are the perfect spot for road bike enthusiasts looking for the ultimate challenge.
The Alps are also so much more, with breathtaking landscapes and sceneries during your rides, and a unique and delicious culinary heritage, perfect to gather some forces after the strenuous rides. Here you can combine two French favorites, charcuterie and cheese, in the mouth watering raclette: melted cheese eaten on top of ham, dried sausage… of course paired with a glass of local white wine!
For those seeking a more relaxed ride, the bike path around Lake Annecy is a must. This scenic route takes you along the shores of one of Europe’s most beautiful lakes, offering views of crystal-clear waters and the surrounding mountains. The area’s tranquil atmosphere and water activities make it a great destination for families or anyone looking to combine cycling with relaxation.
Advanced cyclists will find plenty to challenge them in the French Alps, including the legendary cols of the Tour de France. The infamous climb up Alpe d’Huez is a bucket-list ride for many, offering steep gradients, hairpin turns, and the satisfaction of conquering one of cycling’s most iconic ascents. Other famous routes, such as the Col du Galibier and Col de la Croix de Fer, provide equally thrilling challenges amidst awe-inspiring scenery.
Beyond cycling, the Rhone-Alpes region offers a wealth of attractions to discover. From the snow-capped peaks of Mont Blanc to the historic streets of Lyon, every stop offers something new to explore. In towns like Drome-Provence, you can deepen your appreciation for French history while savoring the region’s renowned cuisine. Whether you’re enjoying a gourmet meal in Lyon or sampling local specialties in a mountain village, your taste buds are in for a treat.
An Alpes bike tour is more than just a cycling adventure—it’s a journey through one of France’s most picturesque and culturally rich regions. Whether you’re pedaling along the shores of Lake Annecy or climbing the heights of the Tour de France’s famed cols, the French Alps promise an unforgettable experience.
5 MAIN REASONS TO DISCOVER THE FRENCH ALPS
Europe’s cleanest lake, Lake Annecy, offers fun for families, couples or singles alike. Most lake-goers only get in the water during the summer months when the temperature reaches 25 degrees Celsius. With activities such as swimming, diving, waterskiing, wakeboarding, and sailing everyone will find something that sparks their interests. Charming villages, like Talloires, Menthon St Bernard and Veyrier, surround the lake’s 35 kilometer shoreline. Perhaps the most appealing town is Annecy with divine places to see for example the photogenic Palais de l’Isle, also called “old prison,”in the center of the Thiou canal, the Château d’Annecy, and the lovers’ bridge, the Pont des Amours. The bike path that boarders the lake makes it easy for cyclists to ride from town to town shopping, eating and enjoying the ambiance.
With respect to history and cuisine, Lyon is indisputably one of the richest locations in France. The Croix-Rousse district of the city, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one reason why Lyon was known at one time as the “silk capital of the world.”The district includes structures like Lyon City Hall, the Fontaine Bartholdi, and the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon (Lyon Museum of Fine Arts) which houses paintings by renowned artists such as Picasso, Rembrandt and Bourdelle, as well as priceless Ancient Egyptian relics. Lyon has been labelled the “culinary capital of France” as well because of its gastronomy and local delicacies like salade lyonnaise, andouillete and marrons glace.
Those experienced cyclists looking for a challenge and a chance to feel like a pro can find just that on the cols in the Rhone-Alpes region. These mountain passes, including the legendary Alpe d’Huez, have been ridden by celebrated cyclists in the Tour de France. This long and difficult 14 km climb with 8% gradient and 21 hairpin bends has been championed by Lance Armstrong twice in its many Tour de France appearances. Other note-worthy cols include the grueling Col de la Madeleine, Col des Saisies, and Col de la Colombière. Vigorous bikers endure these climbs for the thrill, views from the top, and of course the bragging rights that come with it.
Outdoor adventure enthusiasts will find paradise at Chamonix Mont Blanc. The highest mountain in France has plenty to boast about when it comes to outside activities. From skiing, ice climbing and snowboarding in the winter to hiking, rafting and paragliding in the summer, one will never be left wondering what to do. Mountain bikers also flock to this town for the countless single-track courses. Downhill cyclists will enjoy taking the chair lift up the mountain and experiencing the excitement in their bones as they descend down on their bike at high speeds. A ride no one wants to miss is Mont Blanc’s cable car which takes you through the mountains where you will witness incredible views.
The Drome-Provence department offers the best of both the Provence region and Rhone-Alpes region. This is where the weather changes and the clouds give way to the clear blue sky, as well as where the lavender fields begin to appear and the mountains become rolling hills perfect for cycling. The natural environment is not the only great interest of this region, there is the cultural heritage present in every town. For example, travel back to the medieval times when you visit Le Poët-Laval, a town that has remained in the same condition since the 15th century, with no roads just paths and stairways. You must bike to the settlement of Grignan to observe the majestic Château de Grignan surrounded by lavender fields and vineyards. A few other towns worth noting that will not disappoint include Valreas, Dieulefit, Crest, and Nyons. The off the beaten track routes of this region rich in lavender and fruit production are perfect for cycling vacationers.
You can also find your Loire Valley bike tour, your France castle tour, your Massif Central bike tour or your Nord of France bike tour.
