Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Le Monêtier-les-Bains do Huez

Ready for an epic day in the saddle? Roll out from the charming spa village of Le Monêtier-les-Bains, tucked high in the French Alps and famous for its soothing thermal baths—ideal for a pre-ride soak or a post-ride reward. Your route winds through 65 kilometers of dramatic alpine terrain as you make your way to the legendary cycling mecca, Huez.

Expect a solid climb: nearly 2,500 meters of elevation gain, with equal opportunities to coast downhill. While the route is mostly paved or asphalt, you’ll hit short stretches of gravel and track, so a sturdy road or light gravel bike is perfect. You’ll ride mostly on quiet, winding mountain roads—perfect for soaking up jaw-dropping views and maybe channeling your inner Tour de France hero.

And the finish? Alpe d’Huez, whose 21 famous hairpins have tested the world’s greatest cyclists. Reward yourself with a coffee (or something stronger!) in the bustling village and relive your own grand tour stage. Don’t forget to snap some photos—you’ve earned it!
