Hello

Does anyone know if it is possible to cycle from geneva airport to alps duhez? Is there anywhere I can get a route map.

    Yes you could,it would be on some good roads and take a couple days unless you want to ride 240km in a day up mountains?) are for a route, just get a map of "route des grandes alpes" or just a road map of frames and plot you own route.
    Of to watch the tour?

    Yes it is. I've done it. (see the Peregrinations link below). Depends how long you want to take.

    I'd recommend Grand Bornand, Aravis, Saisies, Cormet de Roselend, Iseran, Telegraphe, Galibier, Lauteret, La Grave, Alpe D'Huez.

    If you're in a hurry, head for Annecy, Albertville, down the Maurienne valley and over the Col de Glandon to Bourg D'Oisans.

    The flatter and shorter the route the better as I plan to do a major sportive down there next year. Is there any maps for this route I could print off?
