Biking
Bursting with bike trails the Chamonix valley is seventh heaven for those who enjoy travel on two wheels. For those not born in France (once you visit the place) you will understand why the Tour de France is the THE premier bicycle event in the world. Even though we love riding the French take it to another level. It is a bit like taking your dog to a restaurant, it is a French thing that the rest of us don't quite get.

For the road riders out there the Tour de France is going to be in the Savoie between 23th and 24st July. Passing through Jausiers > L'Alpe d'Huez, Bourg d'Oisans > Saint Etiennne. Check out the route at Tour de France, or the main site at www.letour.fr.
For those interested in a relaxing ride with a few challenges it is the perfect place to ride. Mainly because most destinations have an easy and a hard path to choose from. Plus the best bit, it can all be down hill. Yes, I do not lie, out the chalet door and follow the valley down and then you and your bike can catch the train home. Or ride to the train station in the morning and catch the train up the valley and then ride back. All down hill, it is as good as it sounds.
Those seeking a challenge with steep angles in mind this is the place of your dreams. Literally the sky is your limit. The ski lifts will take you as high as you want all day every day. Put on your helmet, body armour and hold on.
We will happily arrange touring, cross country or downhill bikes to suit your agenda. We use the leading suppliers in the valley and will be happy to assist you plan the ideal itinerary.
Fully equipped and with or without guides, this is an activity that is easily integrated into your stay.
