The Route des Grandes Alpes is pure Alpine splendour. We love to cross the length of the French Alps with a group of cyclists and support crew and each and every time we do, we are blown away by the beauty of the landscape and the enormity of the mountains.
From year to year the route, direction and people may change but the epic alpine passes, the quaint alpine villages and sense of adventure and achievement always remain.
Whilst our trips are open to all levels of cycling we do recommend a high level of fitness and mental toughness for this one, as it’s no easy feat!
