This summer, something special is happening in Allemond.

The Tour de France, the world’s most iconic cycling race, will pass right in front of La Douce Montagne. A rare moment, and an unforgettable experience to live from the front row.

A unique atmosphere in the village

On race day, everything changes.

The roads close, the crowd gathers early, and a festive energy fills the valley. Locals, cycling fans and travellers come together to wait for the riders, often hours before they arrive.

Then suddenly, the caravan, the noise, the excitement… and finally the peloton.

Fast, intense, and gone in seconds.

A legendary cycling territory

Oisans is not just a stop on the Tour. It’s one of the most iconic cycling regions in the French Alps.

With climbs like Alpe d’Huez, Col de la Croix de Fer or Col du Glandon nearby, this is where cycling history is written, year after year.

Staying here means riding the same roads as the pros.

Watch the race from your doorstep

La Douce Montagne offers a unique location for the event.

No need to drive or plan logistics, the race comes to you. Step outside, find your spot, and enjoy the atmosphere from the village.

It’s one of those moments you don’t plan, but remember for a long time.

A perfect time to stay in summer

Beyond the race, summer in Allemond is all about:

• road cycling

• hiking

• lake activities

• quiet mountain evenings

The Tour simply adds an extra layer of excitement to an already beautiful season.
