Location
As well as the chance of cycling Alpe D’Huez and the Col du Galibier, there are many other big Cols & quiet alpine roads with breathtaking scenery near our accommodation in Bourg D’Oisans that we can introduce you to. There are easily enough routes to keep even the keenest cyclists busy riding every day for a week or more. See the Ascents page for more details.
Our whole approach is focused on cyclists, from the secure bike storage, to the conversation around the breakfast table (a great way to find new riding buddies!) We offer route advice, tools, liaison with bike hire, and as an optional extra, guided rides and coaching advice. We also have bike bottles, gels, bars & more available if you don’t want to bring your own.
Our valley base means that you will always end your ride with a downhill…no small advantage given the size of the climbs. The Oisans area is also known as the 6 valleys - with all the climbs on offer there is no need for transfers - we have it all on our doorstep.
Bourg d’Oisans, home of La Marmotte, is the main town in the region is less than 2km away, and offers cafes, restaurants, and also a large number of bike shops!

Stunning Alpine Scenery
The Oisans area is about more than just Alpe d’Huez - we have many local climbs that you may not have heard of that are just as good if not better than the big names like Alpe d’Huez, the Col du Galibier, and the Col de la Croix de Fer. They all offer incredible alpine views….as well as a significant challenge & feeling of achievement when you finally get to the top.
These photos were all taken on rides or walks you can easily access from our accommodation in the Oisans. We are happy to help guests staying at our B&B to plan their itinerary each day during breakfast, and can further support you by providing GPX files. For route ideas you can check out a few suggestions on our Ascents and Routes pages.
