Excursion à vélo d’une journée de La Chambre à L'Huez

Get ready for a true alpine adventure! This route starts in La Chambre, a little village tucked in the Maurienne Valley—perfect for a peaceful send-off before the serious climbing begins. From here, you’ll take on nearly 70 kilometers packed with jaw-dropping views and a colossal 4300+ meters of elevation gain. Expect a mix of quiet roads, tracks, and classic alpine paths, with a good chunk of unpaved adventure as you wind deep into the mountains.

You'll ride through the heart of the French Alps, cresting dizzying heights—at one point you'll top out near 2,800 meters! The payoff? A glorious finish in Huez, famous for the legendary Alpe d’Huez climb, the “Hollywood Boulevard” of cycling. Make sure your legs are ready and your gearing is low; this is a route packed with drama, scenery, and that wild feeling only mountain cycling can deliver. Just remember, surfaces change often—bring the right bike and plenty of snacks for this epic mountain day!
