Originally designed as for a small group who wanted to do a challenging trip with total freedom and without the pressure and discipline an organized tour would involve. Since then, we offer this tour on a regular basis to small groups . Although we use the same route for all, we are flexible enough to tweak it and arrange it based on clients' fitness level and requirements. It is a magnificent tour that will take you over classic Tour de France climbs such as Col de la Croix-Fry, Col des Aravis, Col des Saisies, Col de la Madeleine, Col du Telegraphe, Col du Galibier, and Alpe d'Huez. This tour can be combined with some sections of our Swiss Jura and French Alps tour. |

Day 1:- Arrival in Geneva - Transfer to Anthy |
|
|
Day 2: - Anthy to Le Grand Bornand (90 km or 55 miles) |
|
Day 3: - Le Grand Bornand to Moutiers (90 km or 55 miles) |
|
| Day 4: - Moutiers - Valloire (81 km or 50 miles) Another classic day! You'll do Col de la Madeleine, one of the most mythic classic Tour de France, although the top culminates at an impressive 2,000 m or 6,000 ft. (the highest so far-until tomorrow!), the northern side is a very enjoyable long and steady climb that has its rewards: an unobstructed panorama over the nearby mountains. Make sure you enjoy it while at the top, sightseeing might be the last thing on your mind when barreling down the twisty 20-km downhill to the Maurienne Valley. After a flat section on the valley floor, you'll ascend the easy Col du Télégraphe (1,566 m or 4,700 ft.) and reach the beautiful resort of Valloire. |
