Our chalet in
Bourg Saint Maurice is the best place to be based in the Alps for road cycling because:
* We are surrounded by Tour de France standard climbs with stunning views.
* We have a storage room and workshop at ground floor level
* There is an area outside where you can hose down and carry out repairs.
* Each room has a heated rail and hooks for drying out wet clothes.
* We can change our menus to suit your needs, so lots of carbs and hearty breakfasts.
* We can provide packed lunches if you'd like them.
* If you need to hire bikes, or buy equipment we can organise this for you in advance.
There are many climbs and cols accessible from Bourg st Maurice. Here are some details of just a few of the routes...
Les Arcs
Altitude: 810 m - 2060 m
Distance: 26 km
Vertical climb: 584 m
This climb was made famous in 1996 when Miguel Indurain was dropped from the leading group on the final climb to Les Arcs in the Tour de France. Indurain lost three minutes and therefore the Tour.
