Are you more of a cyclo or mountain biker?

On your saddle, are you more of a trail or road person? Uphill or downhill person? Bowl or full-face helmet? Thin or knobby tires? Whichever way your handlebars lean,

you've come to the right place to treat your tires to alpine sensations.

Cycling, along the legendary passes.

Physically it is a rediscovery every time. If the col de la Croix de Fer seemed a bit long to me last time, I climbed it calmly this year! The crossing

the mountain pastures before the pass and the view of the lake are always so magical.

Le col d’Ornon This is my nature outing. The climb is sporty, with some difficulties, but what a bucolic setting! For the col de Sarenne, it's the same thing, but with wild mountain pastures and a garland of peaks in panoramic mode... Grandiose.

As for legendary challenges, I am of course planning the climb of Alpe d'Huez, finishing at the edge of Lake Besson for a family picnic. And the Galibier pass at the end of the stay, as usual.

I am a real enthusiast, I carefully prepare the program of my cycling outings, then on site... I adapt according to my fitness and my desires!

"Each time I pass over a pass in Oisans, I rediscover the landscapes "

Mountain biking, along fun trails.

The mountain bike areas of the resorts taught me everything. Before tackling the “wild” routes of Oisans, I learned my trade in Les 2 Alpes and Alpe d'Huez, benchmark areas. Wide, well-maintained routes, with playful terrain movements and everything you need to progress thanks to cleverly “shaped” modules.

Once the audacity was sharpened, with friends, we tackled a wilder trail, listed in the guide "MTB in Oisans". An easy one, just to see what it's like. Super excited, we planned the second outing with a mountain bike instructor to arrange shuttle, route and timing. Our only goal: to make the most of each passage! Because there's no way to go back up by pushing the bike... Well, yes... but no. Result: deadly!

"Negotiating a series of steep bends in the forest requires training, and when you get there the sensations are enormous! "

What if we want to do both?

No worries, recently there is THE solution: the electric mountain bike.

Suitable for both uphill and downhill!

The last word is the cold beer (craft and from Oisans of course) that will have it. On the terrace, everyone agrees: it was a great day! All that remains is to compare the sensations and... the tan lines!
