Road Cycling Holidays Alpe d’Huez and Bourg d’Oisans in the French Alps with Tour d’Oisans

Over the last couple of weeks I have tried a couple of new road rides- The first, last week was up from Allemont on the Route de Clot. The there and back trip is just under 40KM with a sharp climb passed the Allemont church up to 1293m. The road runs out here so it was back the same way to Bourg d’Oisans.

The second ride today was from Bourg d’Oisans up to Bons – just below Les Deux Alpes. This was a very similar climb a long a sheltered wooded road before opening up to fantastic views of Auris en Oisans. Once you go through Bons you can either take a right and climb up to Les Deux Alpes or descend back to Bourg d’Oisans. The total distance again was about 40km.
