Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • The Trek Travel Race Trip Difference: As Lidl-Trek’s Official Hospitality Partner, Trek Travel will deliver you to the world’s biggest races like you’ve only dreamed, and you can ride a Trek Domane SL 7 Disc bike with us on the very same routes just hours before the pros. Learn about our Race Trip Difference.
  • Our itineraries are created with the best information we have available to us at the time. Unforeseen events can affect the race, the race course, and this itinerary. Access to VIP areas and race viewings can require early morning starts, shuttles and delays in race traffic. The routes, timing, hotels, activities, etc. listed here may change at the discretion of the trip designer or guides in order to maximize the trip experience.
  • Weather and Packing: The weather is notoriously unpredictable in the mountains. You can experience all seasons in one day so bringing layers is key! Layering is the best way to regulate your body temperature. This tried-and-true strategy is all about slipping layers on and off as your activity level or the weather changes. The key items of clothing to remember are long-fingered gloves, arm warmers, leg warmers, a vest, and a rain jacket for the summit and descent.
  • When it comes to French cuisine, we all know that France is famous for it, but it’s important to keep in mind that service can sometimes be slow. But don’t let that discourage you! This is all part of the experience and it only adds to the charm of dining in France. Take your time, savor each bite, and enjoy the flavors that make French cuisine so amazing!
  • Biking in the French Alps during the Tour: We want to make sure you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience on this trip, so it’s important to note that the roads we’ll be riding on may be a bit tight and with some race traffic. It is important to stay vigilant while taking in the views of this beautiful region.
Before and After Your Trip
FAQs

The summer months can bring warm days, ranging from the mid 60s to low 80s ºF (18-27ºC), with evenings dropping to the mid 50s to mid 60s ºF (13-18ºC). When traveling in the mountainous regions of France, it is best to be prepared for variable conditions, as weather can change very quickly, and there is always the chance of snow and rain. We recommend always traveling with rain gear, as well as plenty of breathable layers to provide warmth should the temperature drop.
