Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne do Huez

Ready for a legendary ride? This route rolls out from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, known as a classic launchpad for epic climbs in the heart of the French Alps. You’ll cover just over 61 km, but with almost 3,800 meters of climbing, this is no casual spin—it’s one for the bucket list.

You’ll pass through dramatic mountain scenery and take on a mix of quiet roads, tracks, and iconic paths. Most of the surface is missing or variable, so expect some adventure off the perfect tarmac! Keep in mind that some stretches are pretty isolated and demanding.

The highlight? Approaching Huez, home to the famous Alpe d’Huez climb, with its legendary hairpins and Tour de France history. At max elevation, you’ll top out around 2,470 meters—so prepare for changing weather and cool air! Wrap up at Huez and reward yourself with stunning panoramic views and the satisfaction of conquering one of cycling’s iconic playgrounds.
