Col de la Madeleine Living like a pro arrangement 2023

Cycle Travel and Villaparcs offer a super location in the French Alps for cycling vacations in the mountains. In the center of Saint Francois Longchamp is the small 4-star vacation park Parc Madeleine. The luxury chalets and apartments are located directly on the Col de Madeleine (hors category climb in e.g. the Tour de France & Paris-Nice) and is also known as the Grand Domaine ski area (165km). During your cycling vacation in the French Alps, all facilities are at your disposal. Enjoy the restaurant and be pampered after a bike ride. The park is about 9 hours drive from Eindhoven.

Saint-François-Longchamp is located in the heart of the largest cycling area in the world. Set off for a fantastic adventure in the heart of the Alps. Parc Madeleine is located directly on the legendary Col de la Madeleine and is surrounded by mythical passes such as the Col du Glandon, Croix de la Fer, Col du Galibier. The most special climb is the Les Lascets de Montvernier; a terraced climb almost out of a fairy tale film. This unique climb is also included in the Tour de France 2022.
Enough challenge: The Col de Madeleine alone can be climbed on three different routes under completely different conditions. This makes the mountain extra special and challenging for cyclists who like variety. In our cycling vacation routes we also include the lesser known but equally beautiful climbs. Let us surprise you in this beautiful area!
