French Alps Tour de France Climbs

Three legendary climbs, one live Tour stage

8 nights · French Alps, France · Road Cycling, Advanced · 12–20 guests · from $9,800 / person · 5.0 (12 guests)

This is the trip for riders who train with a power meter. Alpe d'Huez, the Col du Galibier, and the Col de la Croix de Fer across eight days, each ridden fresh — plus a day roadside at a live Tour de France stage: the one day you don't ride, and the one you'll talk about most. Advanced fitness required; we're direct about that on the planning call.

What's included

A ride leader and support van all week, with Tour stage viewing logistics handled — parking, position, provisions. Character hotels, luggage transfers, a mechanic, nutrition support on climb days, and a pre-trip planning call. Flights and your bike are the only things you arrange yourself.
