Burgundy & the Alps Itinerary, July 8-14, 2010
We’ve been bicycling Burgundy since our inception, so we’ve got all the insider connections for when the peloton rolls through. From Burgundian grand cru vineyards, we’re heading straight into the heart of the Alps, where we’ll ascend infamous cols, and witness first-hand the Tour’s only uphill Alpine finish.
Day 1 Climb the legendary Côte-d’Or and dine in one of Beaune’s oldest caves
Day 2 Cycle past some of the world’s most famous vineyards, before witnessing the finish of the Tour’s longest stage
Day 3 Ascend the Col de la Ramaz twenty-four hours before the peloton arrives
Day 4 Arrive early in Avoriaz to witness the first uphill stage finish of the race
Day 5 Loop from the Alpine village of Morzine, and spend the evening mingling with the resting Caravane
Day 6 Cycle the Col de la Madeleine mere hours before the Tour—then join the throng of excited onlookers. Allez!
Day 7 Breakfast and au revoir in Grenoble.
