Are you a cycling fan, always on the lookout for new mountain passes to conquer? La Toussuire’s Cyclo Week is just the thing for you!
A week dedicated entirely to cycling, spent among fellow enthusiasts: races, guided rides, evening events and workshops… all in the friendly atmosphere we’re so good at creating.

Suitable for all abilities. Every day, set out to conquer legendary mountain passes: the Galibier, the Croix de Fer and the Madeleine, as well as some lesser-known passes. Our rides are led by a qualified instructor and accompanied by local cyclists, ensuring a high-quality and safe experience.

Before each ride, enjoy a welcome coffee in the valley, courtesy of our partner hosts. You can cycle at your own pace and as you please, and at every summit, a well-deserved refreshment stop will be waiting for you.

To kick off the week on a high note and get to know each other, a “social ride” is on the cards. Meet at 9am in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne for a coffee at one of our partners’ venues in the valley. Accompanied by a qualified cycling instructor and the Ma Petite Entreprise women’s pro team, you’ll set off on a ride of around 50 km with a choice of 500 m or 1,000 m of elevation gain. We’ll be back before midday.

After the Gran Fondo, it’s time for a recovery ride! Organised into groups of 10 riders of similar ability, you’ll set off from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne after enjoying a coffee at one of our partners’ venues. On the agenda: the ‘La Mauriennaise’ loop, a 50 km route with 1,000 metres of elevation gain.

If you’d like to try electric mountain biking, meet in front of the Netski Vidal shop. You can bring your own bike or hire one there (€80). Geoffrey, our mountain bike instructor, will guide you to the peaks of La Toussuire. Thrills guaranteed!

EVENING WORKSHOP ON HEALTH AND NUTRITION: Free. Meet at the Tourist Office

Finally, to round off the week in style, we’ll be taking you on a ride over a little-known but stunning mountain pass. Meet at 9am in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne for a coffee at one of our partners’ establishments in the valley. The route covers 50km with 1,000m of elevation gain. As with our other rides, groups will be formed according to ability at the start.

EVENING TASTING OF LOCAL PRODUCTS

This year, the Étape du Tour passes through the Maurienne region. The riders will arrive via the Col de la Croix de Fer, descend to Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, before heading back up the valley and setting off again via the Col du Galibier. It’s the perfect opportunity to cheer on the participants and soak up the atmosphere of the Tour.
