Excursion à vélo d’une journée de L'Huez à Mont-de-Lans

This route takes you from the iconic village of Huez—famous as the gateway to Alpe d’Huez, a legendary Tour de France climb—over to Mont-de-Lans, a laid-back alpine village near Les Deux Alpes ski resort.

You’ll cover about 29 km, with over 1,400 meters of ascent and even more descent, so get ready for some pumping climbs and thrilling downhills! Expect diverse terrain: only about a third of your ride is on comfy paved roads, while 40% of the surface is missing or uncertain, meaning adventure awaits. Prepare for gravel, tracks, and paths cutting through gorgeous alpine landscapes.

You'll rise up to 1,873 meters at the top—soak in some jaw-dropping mountain views. Traffic is generally quiet, but some sections may bring you onto more bustling roads, so stay alert.

Mont-de-Lans marks the northern edge of the Les Deux Alpes area, a hotspot for outdoor lovers year-round. If you have a bit of extra time, grab a coffee and check out the scenery—it’s a fitting reward after such an epic ride!
