Cycling, Walking and much more in Bourg d’Oisans

Oisans is synomymous with the legendary Tour de France mountain stages. Alpe-d'Huez, Les 2 Alpes and Bourg d'Oisans have left their mark on this race and are part of its living legend.

Oisans hosts spectacular mountain bike competitions such as ‘Megavalanche’, the longest MTB downhill race in the world, starting in Alpe d’Huez and finishing 30km and 2800m further down in the centre of the village of Allemont.

From small country roads to solitary mountain passes lost in the clouds, Oisans is a very popular area for cycling. Come and explore the six valleys of this fantastic area with its winding roads, its perched villages, sitting on mountain tops like eagles’ nests, or its more gentle roads opening up its hidden valleys.

As you will see, each road has its own history and each village has its own distinctive character.

Walking and Climbing

Oisans has such extraordinary natural heritage that a National Park, the Ecrins, was created to protect it and enhance the environment.  It is the largest national park in France with over 680km of way-marked trials ranging from simple strolls to adventurous hikes.  Surrounded by the majestic mountains, whatever path you choose and however difficult, the setting is sure to be memorable.

Be at one with the mountains in complete security. The ‘Via Ferratas’ are protected rocky scrambling routes.  Thanks to the ladders, ramps and cables fixed to the rock face you do not have to be an experienced climber to find yourself perched on a rock face.
