Marmotte Gran Fondo 2015 entries are in theory open

however, most people are having the (now traditional) traditional woes with accessing the site - I guess it's sheer weight of traffic.....

Marmotte sportive accommodation

2 beds available for the Marmotte sportive due to late cancellation. Half-board accommodation, shuttle up to registration and back from finish included.

Galibier now open, Marmotte route now fully accessible!

A few photos to whet your appetite for the Galibier! I imagine there's still a little more snow about up there than in these shots.

Accommodation available for 2014 Tour de France

Stop press!

Due to a late cancellation, we now have 3 beds free (in a large, triple room) for the week that the Tour de France is in the area (13th to 20th July):

 St Etienne to Chamrousse: Route information 
You can get to Chamrousse by riding the Col du Luitel if you fancy an extra challenge!

Grenoble to Risoul: Route information
You will be able to see the riders at the foot of our road, passing through Bourg d'Oisans or climbing up to the Lautaret.

Tallard to Nimes Route information
A little drive away, but the stage start in Tallard allows you to get really close to the action, riders, bikes and team buses. We were there in 2007 and had a great time: Photo album 2007 Tour

Col du Glandon now open

We will keep you posted as to the Galibier, as soon as that opens the Marmotte route is 'GO'!

Col de la Croix de Fer open for 2014!

My favourite col in the area is open again.

Here's where to look for updates, but we'll keep you posted on the blog....

Happy riding!
