Welcome to the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the final mountain stages of this year’s Tour de France. After a 90-minute private shuttle from Annecy to the heart of the alps, we'll enjoy a light lunch and professional bike fit on your award-winning Trek Domane. Today's warm up ride climbs over the Côte de Longefoy, the penultimate climb in tomorrow’s Stage 17. After a breathtaking descent into the valley, we’ll climb up to the world-class ski town of Méribel and check into our luxurious and stylish hotel, La Kaïla, where you’ll enjoy a warm welcome and incredible views of the mountains that surround you. This evening we'll gather for a cocktail and to discuss the week ahead before indulging in the famous Savoie cuisine of the region. Consider it fuel for a big day, as we're headed right for live race action tomorrow.

This 17.5 mile climb may only have an average gradient of 6% but reaches pitches over 10% toward the top. It’s a race-day climb like nothing you’ve ever experienced, with VIP passes and the final stretch of the race course accompanied by an official race escort car just like the pros! Feel the Tour glory as you crest the summit and rocket across the finish line in Courchevel then climb the Official Tour podium with your fellow Trek Travelers for an unforgettable souvenir photo opportunity!

Your guides will support you with water, snacks, rest stops, and Tour-de-France-style cheers as you meet today’s challenge head on with all the determination of a pro cyclist. Upon your return to the hotel, catch the final sprint into le Markstein Fellering on television, as there will surely be a battle for who will wear the yellow jersey into Paris!

Planning For Your Trip

Packing and Weather

The summer months can bring warm days, ranging from the mid 60s to low 80s F (18-27C), with evenings dropping to the mid 50s to mid 60s F (13-18C).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. Packing List
