Challenging Cycling Tours in France

May 2011

Hitting the Dirt Trails

Forget the pavement - experience the wonders of France while mountain biking the back country. Mountain biking gives riders a completely different perspective very few tourists will ever see. Most riders also admit the trails teach them lessons about life, so get off the beaten path, literally, on one of our guided mountain bike tours.

 

Guided Alpe d'Huez MTB Tour

Numerous races and downhill events occur here and the variety of trails in the region offers you the opportunity to see Alpe d'Huez in a totally different way.

 

Guided Mont Ventoux MTB Tour

Famous among the ‘roadies’ and TDF fans, the Provence region is just as celebrated among mountain bikers. In addition to this trophy ride, we go cross country to the famous village of Gordes and then to the unusual and beautiful Colorado Provencale.

 

Guided Grande Traversee of the Massif Central Tour

An unforgettable adventure that covers 600 kilometers, this tour passes through 6 different departments, enjoying vastly diverse geography and culture of each, before reaching the beach at Sete.

 

These mostly single track, forested, and quiet mountain biking tours provide challenging but not technically demanding rides. We offer you an adventure second to none, so what are you waiting for?

Julien Absalon

Do you know French cross-country mountain biker, Julien Absalon? This talented athlete has won gold medals at the 2004 and 2008 summer Olympics as well as 17 World Cups throughout his career and he is only in his early 30’s. We expect to see more prestigious victories from Julien in the future and are fortunate to call him a friend. Check out pictures from a press conference he held at our bike shop in France, Cyrpeo.

Tour de France Tours

Don't worry, you haven't missed your chance to experience everything the TDF has to offer! We still have openings on our non-cycling VIP Opening Week and Paris package tours.

 

We also have a few spots available on our Guided VIP TDF Cycling Tours. Hurry though, they won't last long!
