Legendary passes and climbs
Climbing Alpe d'Huez
A high point of the Tour de France, the climb of Alpe d'Huez is the essential stage of the passage of the Grande Boucle. 21 panels punctuate the rider's effort in a countdown of 14 km over 1120 m of elevation gain.
The green track
The greenway, a project of the Oisans community of communes, now connects Venosc à Allemond passing through Le Bourg-d'Oisans. Two-wheelers will thrive in this secure space, far from exhaust fumes.
Cycling routes
The geographical location of Bourg d'Oisans, in the heart of the region, makes it an ideal starting point for reaching the legendary passes that delimit Oisans: the passes of Glandon and Croix de Fer, Galibier pass, Lautaret pass and col d’Ornon.
Major events
The tour of France
The Tour de France in Oisans could be summed up by the climb of the Alpe d'Huez, one of the most popular climbs of the big loop. If the tour of France never did stage in Oisans without going up Alpe d'Huez, other legendary passes.
The groundhog
Ride the Legend! Since 1982, “La Marmotte” for short, is without a doubt the most “pro” amateur race in the Alps. The 7 registrations completed in record time, the course, the 500 m of positive elevation gain, the organization and above all.
The Oisans Col series
Every Tuesday morning in July and August, a road or pass is reserved for cyclists. Want to ride without an exhaust pipe? Do you prefer the song of birds to the sound of engines?
Alpe d'Huzes
Climb the 21 bends of the Alpe d'Huez... while fighting cancer! Who would have thought? Pedaling can earn money! And with a good cause at the end of the climb, what's more. The Alpe d'Huzes is a charity event and not a competition.
