Your Trip Need to Knows:
July in the French Alps offers long, sun-filled days and refreshing mountain air — ideal conditions for cycling. Daytime temperatures are typically in the 60s to upper 70s ºF (16-26ºC), though the strong alpine sun can make it feel warmer, especially in sheltered valleys. Evenings, however, can be quite cool dropping to the mid 50s to mid 60s ºF (13-18ºC). While July is generally one of the drier months in the Alps, the weather is notoriously unpredictable in the mountains. You can experience all seasons in one day, including occasional afternoon showers. View our Packing List
