  • We offer you a secure shelter for your bike as well as the possibility of cleaning it. A repair stand is available.
  • The repairing sauna, our very comfortable mattresses, having a good beer installed in our deckchairs will help you to recover from efforts of the day.

You will get the same route of about 200 km for 5,000 meters of difference in height . You will starts from here then you will ride the last 5 kms of the Telegraph pass and continue onto Valloire, le Galibier, Bourg d'Oisans , climb to the Alpes d'Huez, descend to Bourg d'Oisans, climb the pass of "La Croix de Fer", descend to Saint Jean de Maurienne and complete the first part of the Telegraphe pass by forking over Valmeinier.
