Cycling in the paradise of the Southern French Alps!
The endless possibilities of beautiful cycling routes on the quiet and sunny roads was the reason for us to come and live here. We know the environment inside and out.
We have selected the 12 climbs that you absolutely must have done! Some of the most legendary cols from the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia, but also a few "jewels for insiders", less known to the general public but very worthwhile. You can drive routes from 40 to over 200 km with steep and less steep climbs. Just what suits you.
With the Bucketlist Challenge you can experience an amazing cycling week independently and completely unburdened.
Why Hotel Saint Roch?
Mountain biking in the National Parc des Ecrins
For both the experienced and less experienced biker, there are plenty of opportunities for mountain biking from Puy Saint Vincent. The rolling routes that run down the river along the rivers form a beautiful training ground. You can also use your mountain bike with the ski lift to go up and then take one of the spectacular downhill routes. Children can get mountain bike experience in one of the two bike parcs.
As an avid mountain biker you can completely go on the many GR trails. These are everywhere and with which you can make your own adventurous route. You have to be well trained to be able to cycle all 'single tracks' here. You go over GR's (very quiet hiking trails), to passes and heights over 2000 meters ... you do not get the climb, but the long climbs along an incredibly beautiful setting are rewarded with very tough descents.
Enjoy the ride!
