GRANFONDO!
La Marmotte Granfondo is the most classic and well-known Granfondo of them all. It’s popularity remains high. At Ride Up, we understand this. La Marmotte is the ultimate combination of a tough challenge in a wonderful surrounding. The climbs of Col du Glandon, Col du Galibier and Alpe d’Huez are one by one stunning and hard. Let alone if you combine them in one ride! This makes for a total of 174km with over 5,000 altitude metres!
This big a challenge calls for the best preparation possible. Therefore, Ride Up has found an experienced partner in Chalet Beyond. For over 15 years, thousands of riders have prepared for La Marmotte in their cycling hotel in Oz. With guided tours, massage, sports food and a great location, you will certainly be ready on the big day. On raceday, a personal supply zone is provided.
