Legendary Climbs, Stunning Routes
Alpe d’Huez
We kick off with a bang: the legendary 21 bends of Alpe d’Huez. It’s not just a climb—it’s a rite of passage. You’ll ride in the wheel tracks of Tour de France champions, with panoramic views and epic bragging rights.
Through the Alps to Provence
From Alpe d’Huez, we wind through cols like the Galibier, Izoard, and Vars, rolling into the heart of Provence—think lavender fields, peaceful villages, and incredible food. You’ll have time to recover and soak in the views before we face…
Mont Ventoux – The Giant of Provence
The final climb. The final challenge. A mythical ascent with three classic routes, Ventoux is the true climax of this tour. We’ll ride it twice—from Sault and from Malaucène—and experience both the isolation and the glory of its moonscape summit.
