Routes
The following climbs are within easy reach of the chalet. The first group are all within cycling distance and the other two groups only a short drive away. There are plenty more rides in the area that aren't on this list and plenty of rides along beautiful valleys and lakesides for anyone who fancies something less strenuous.
Within the groups, climbs can be linked to give longer rides, either circular or with a minibus pickup. We will help you plan a route before you arrive and provide maps and a backup vehicle.

We are very happy to organise rides further afield, if you don't mind the drive and an early start. The Thursday, timed climb of the 21 hairpins at Alpes D'Huez isn't too far and if you want to climb Mont Ventoux that can be arranged at the end of the holiday, although it would be wise to contact us before you make travel arrangements as you will need to return home from a different airport.
