The Marmotte

(5  - 8 July 2012)


Come and join us in Alpe D'Huez for one of the most fantastic French sportives. Following on from our successful 2011 La Marmotte weekend, we will be running another between 5th - 8th July 2012.

We will pick you up from Geneva airport on Thursday the 5th and take you up to the stunning spa hotel of Hotel au Chamois D'or where we will spend a few days. The hotel is equipped with a spa so make the most of the jacuzzi both before and after the race.

The Friday is very relaxed and we will help you get your race number and chip from the village which is just a few minutes walk from the hotel. Take the opportunity to spin out your legs and chill out before the big day tomorrow.

Saturday is race day so we will be up early for a pre race breakfast. When you're ready, you will free wheel down Alpe D'Huez to the starting grid in Bourg D'Oisans. You can wear as many layers as you like to keep warm as Love Velo will be stationed by the starting grid with our van where you can put your warm clothes that you don't need for the race.

Following what we hope to be a really successful race (look out for us en route as we are equipped with cameras and video equipment) we will have a post race celebration at the hotel before a good night's sleep.

The following day we will transfer you back to the airport for your return flight home.
