| Itinerary | ||||||
| July 10: Geneva - Day-off for the pros. Arrive in Geneva at the time of your choice. If you do not bring your bike and rent one from us, we recommend that you take the train from the airport to the downtown train station (Gare Cornavin). From there, your hotel is a 5 to 10 minutes’ walk. If you bring your bike, you can expect the taxi ride to take 15 minutes. Either way, our mechanic/guide will meet you at 6:00 pm for bike outfitting and last-minute tuning. He will also go over the next few days’ itinerary with you. We’ll then transfer you to a panoramic restaurant with breathtaking views over Lake Geneva. |
||||||
| July 11: Ride to Aix-les-Bains (100 km or 62 miles; 1,027 m or 3,360 ft of climbing). Viewing of the stage 10 “Macon – Bellegarde-sur-Valserine" You will be given two options: Ride to Bellegarde-sur-Valserine to view the finish of stage 10 and proceed afterwards to Aix-les-Bains where your hotel is located (100 km; 1,030 m of climbing) or choose to climb the very challenging “Grand Colombier” to view the pros before riding down to Aix-les-Bains (133 km; 2,750 m of climbing). Regardless of the option you choose, you can be sure that you won’t see the pros in a large pack! Another guarantee: today’s ride—whatever option you choose—is spectacular! Note that for logistical reasons (road closures!), part of your luggage will be transferred to La Toussuire that evening. |
||||||
| July 12: Ride to La Toussuire (94 km or 59 miles; or 1,120 m or 3,800 ft. of climbing). Viewing of stage 11 “Albertville – La Toussuire” We’ll start early today to get a head start on the pros… we share the same destination! The ride is mostly flat until the last climb to La Toussuire where your 4-star residence is located. Whether you choose to be on the climb or on the finish line, you can be sure that you’ll have front row to watch this crucial Tour de France stage. Dinner is at leisure |
||||||
| July 13: Viewing of stage 12 “Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne > Annonay Davézieux” Gravity will take you to Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne where the start of stage 12 will take place. Your best chance to approach the pros as they ride to the stage to perform their mandatory daily sign-up. An early transfer back to Geneva will be provided from La Toussuire and Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. |
