Twenty‑one numbered bends climb 1,120 m to 1,850 m: Alpe d’Huez stacks its famed hairpins from Le Bourg‑d’Oisans up to the sunlit plateau. First used by the Tour de France in 1952, the road threads beneath the Signal cliffs, then opens onto Huez’s old hamlets and wide views to the Grandes Rousses. You’ll pass the local museum, the Tunnel piste carved through rock, and balconies over the Romanche valley. Cyclists know every corner; travelers use them as stages for stories, photos, and quick detours.
Picked up at your Les Deux Alpes hotel, you ride in a comfortable Mercedes kept at your disposal all day: chilled water, photo stops on request, easy drop‑offs. We roll through Le Bourg‑d’Oisans, pause by the marker at hairpin no. 7, then lunch on the Alpe before looping back via Villard‑Reculas along the D211a balcony road. With a dedicated driver in Oisans, you taste cheeses, stroll to Lac Besson, and skip the parking hunt while plans flex with weather and mood.
