Road Cycling

What makes us a cycle specific chalet?

We provide comfortable beds, hot powerful showers, a relaxed and cosy atmosphere and most importantly, fantastic food, quality drinks and great service & hospitality.

The chalet has its very own bike shed with a work shop, wash area for cleaning your bike, track pumps, bike stands, jigs and a large selection of specially made riding maps and guides for all the routes in the area. In the lounge, you’ll find a great collection of road riding and mountain biking films and DVD’s courtesy of Andrew Mee from Kona bikes and Paligap ltd.

Our location on Alpe d'Huez means that you have the perfect base from which to climb some of cycling's most famous Cols. Local climbs include Col de la Croix de Fer, Col du Galibier, Col du Glandon, Col de Telegraphe, Col de Lautaret, Les Deux Alpes, Col d'Ornon and of course the legendary Alpe d'Huez.

Alpe d’Huez is famous for the Tour de France, the stage passes right outside our front door, as well as La Marmotte race, La Vaujany and many other sportifs. Every Thursday you can take part in the Alpe d’Huez time trial. Cyclists of all levels can join in free of charge. There is a lead team support car blasting out a running commentary and loud music to help spur you on as you climb the 21 hairpins to the Tour de France finish line at the summit. The record is still held by Marco Pantani with a time of 36m40s.

Whether you are a road cyclist, mountain biker, tourer or just a fan of cycling and the mountains, look no further.
