Briançon is a commune of the Hautes-Alpes department, in Southeast France. It is one of the best riding spots in the world and offers a lot of cycle tours all around the city and its surroundings. So, are you ready for an unforgettable 6-day mountain bike trip in this fabulous area? Then join me!
Standing at 1,326 metres (4,350 feet) on the confluence of the Durance and the Guisane rivers, Briançon is the highest city in France. This beautiful medieval walled town is surrounded by a perfect terrain for cycling. As it has regularly featured as a stage town in the Tour de France, it is a popular spot for this exhilarating activity.
On this 6-day mountain bike trip we will explore the region and find some stunning cycle descents. We will discover amazing bike routes not only in Briançon but also in La Grave, the Queyras valley, the Ecrins, and the Vallée de la Clarée. Additionally, every day we will have picnics in gorgeous spots where we will recharge energies before continuing with the adventure. Finally, our minibus will take us back to base to enjoy delicious local dishes and rest. You can take a look at the complete itinerary below for a more detailed description of what we will do each day!
