Event & Tour Preview La Marmotte is a challenging, mass-timed cycling event that travels through the most beautiful and well-known cycling areas of the French Alps. For anyone who is looking for an alternative (or additional challenge) to L’Etape du Tour, La Marmotte is the event! With total elevation gain of over 5,000 meters, La Marmotte will test the limits of your cycling fitness. The event boasts world-class service with a rolling road closure, food and drink stations, and mechanical support. After La Marmotte, we’ll remain near Bourg d'Osians—centrally located to all cycling routes—for an additional week of training and hands-on coaching. This trip is not only a chance to experience France, but an opportunity to take your cycling to the next level. You’ll train on the same roads that the pros use to prepare for the Tour de France. Pre-Tour Professional Coaching In order to prepare for the trip, you’ll receive a three-month professional coaching/training program, covering topics such as:
Airport Arrival/Departure City Lyon, France Average Daily Mileage and Terrain We will ride and train an average of 40 to 80 miles daily, over challenging mountain passes and narrow lanes. The routes are designed to offer a choice of shorter or longer options, and include areas where optional structured training can be employed. Professional coaching is included every day. Many afternoons are free for non-cycling activities such as exploring the local villages or simply relaxing, or for those that want more riding, this cycling-friendly region offers numerous roads to tackle after the set day’s route.
