FULL ITINERARY

DAY ZERO SAT 13 SEP | ARRIVAL

Arrive into Annecy and settle into our excellent start hotel. Your guides will be arriving today as well, and in the afternoon can assist with ensuring bikes are ready to roll tomorrow.
Welcome and Tour Briefing over dinner, the first of many great nights ahead.

DAY ONE SUN 14 SEP | ANNECY TO ALBERTVILLE

A short warm-up along the lake shore before we begin our first real ascent of the tour. A series of solid climbs that take us from Haute-Savoie to the Savoie region of France, culminating in the green slopes of Col du Frene. A huge descent and rolling terrain to our next stop in Albertville.
DISTANCE | 75KM | 47MI
ELEVATION | 1200M | 3900FT

DAY TWO MON 15 SEP | ALBERTVILLE TO SAINT-JEAN-DE-MAURIENNE

First of the classic TDF ascents, as we ride south up and over the Col de La Madeleine, the gateway to the legends of the Alpes. This lady is not to be trifled with, her reputation being tough but beautiful. The journey is eased with majestic scenery - green forest, cascading waterfalls and the spectacular summit.
DISTANCE | 80KM | 50MI
ELEVATION | 2300M | 7550FT

DAY THREE TUE 16 SEP | LOOP RIDE

We're fast running out of superlatives as this tour unfolds. Today we tackle two legends that conveniently roll into one - the Col du Glandon and Col de la Croix de Fer. The average gradient on this climb is not easy, so pace is the key - and the views!
DISTANCE | 65KM | 40MI
ELEVATION | 1950M | 6400FT

DAY FOUR WED 17 SEP | SAINT-JEAN-DE-MAURIENNE TO BOURG D'OISANS

Serious Tour de France territory today with two halves. Our route heads ever upwards from the start. First summit is the Col du Télégraphe, and then the famous Col du Galibier. After such a mighty effort, the second half is a wonderful downhill run to the charming town of Le Bourg d'Oisans.
DISTANCE | 95KM | 59MI
ELEVATION | 2700M | 8850FT

DAY FIVE THU 18 SEP | ALPE D'HUEZ LOOP

Spectacular day as we ride a loop to Alpe d'Huez, and then just a little higher to the Col de Sarenne. We're up around 2000M above sea level today, before a scenic return to our hotel for dinner and recounting of the day's adventures.
DISTANCE | 60KM | 37MI
ELEVATION | 2100M | 6900FT

DAY SIX FRI 19 SEP | BOURG D'OISANS TO BRIANÇON

Farewell to the French region of Isere, as we ride through the Haute-Alpes, over the Col du Lautaret to Briançon. One of the easier climbs of the Tour de France, consider this your 'rest day'.
DISTANCE | 65KM | 40MI
ELEVATION | 1750M | 5750FT

DAY SEVEN SAT 20 SEP | IZOARD LOOP

Incredible day in the saddle. Undulating start and gradual downhill trend as we wind round to the Col d'Izoard for the traditional, brutal southern ascent. The terrain is unique, spectacular and will give you goosebumps. This is a true battleground of the Tour de France legends.
DISTANCE | 90KM | 56MI
ELEVATION | 2150M | 7050FT

DAY EIGHT SUN 21 SEP | BRIANÇON TO BEDOIN

Early morning transfer to Bédoin of about four hours to our lovely hotel at the base of Mont Ventoux. Following a light lunch, turn the legs over in preparation for the big day tomorrow as we ride a loop to the Gorge de la Nesque. Spectacular!
DISTANCE | 70KM | 43MI
ELEVATION | 1150M | 3800FT

DAY NINE MON 22 SEP | MONT VENTOUX

The legend awaits! We can offer you three options, but there is no easy route. The classic way up the mountain is from Bédoin, which naturally is the toughest. Mont Ventoux has justly earned its formidable status among the cycling fraternity. It is that camaraderie that will get you to the summit. Bring it on!
DISTANCE | 56KM | 35MI
ELEVATION | 1790M | 5870FT

DAY TEN TUE 23 SEP | DEPARTURE

Morning transfer of about 3 hours to Nice. Plan your onward travel from mid-afternoon.

Time to say farewell, until next time.
Ride safe Puntos.
