Road Cycling

Oisans is an unmissable destination for any self-respecting cyclist, whether amateur or professional!

It’s worth coming just for the 21-switchback climb between Bourg d’Oisans and Alpe d’Huez. In summer, it is tackled by no fewer than 1000 cyclists every day. From Bourg d’Oisans you can reach the classic climbs such as Glandon, Croix de Fer , Galibier and the Telegraph, regular used in Le Tour De France. Additionally you can find lesser known mountain roads to villages such as Oulles, Ornon, Villard Notre Dame and Le Molard.

La Voie Verte is lovely addition to the region linking Allemond to Venosc. The mostly car free route takes you along the banks of the Romanche River, passing nearby to Le Lac Bleu(picnic tables available), Lac de Buclet and onto Les Gouchois(beware of the river crossing and the climb at the end)! From here you can cycle down to the river/road junction to continue to Venosc.

BikeOisans.com have created a comprehensive guide listing a great collection of rides in the region. You will find all the information required to help choose your rides such as, ride duration, difficulty level, elevation, routes and distance…..the rest is up to you! Here is a digital copy of their guide.

We are pleased to offer all our cycling guests a 10% reduction on bike rental at Bleach Bike & Ski. Please get in touch for more details.
