Information on the French Alps

If you are planning to visit the French Alps this summer to see the Tour de France or want more
information on the climbs that the race has made famous, then visit the Grenoble Cycling Pages.

This year, the Tour de France will visit the nearby resort of Alpe d'Huez, as well as take the
riders over the Col du Galibier and the Col d'Izoard. In June, the Tour de France warm-up race, the
Dauphine Libere will start in the mountains just above the city and end a week later in Grenoble.

I'm going to Annecy this year (again) for my summer hols. The cycling round there is just superb,
with many routes signposted specifiaclly for cyclists with 4 different coloured routes rated on
difficulty. There's even a booklet published by the tourist board. That's what I call being
organised and cycling friendly.
