Take a bike tour this summer to the French Alps and live your dream

You've probably dreamed of many times in your life to see a live tour de france and observe the mythical climbs in the Alps and the magnificent sprint final step in both deliciao.Well, and if i say that you can live your dream by taking a bike tour this summer to the French Alps? True,there is one bike tour company that offers these types of trips is In Situ Travel. They run European bike tours, including one in July to watch France’s Pro Tour. “We’re pleased to offer what we feel is one of the best alternatives for fans to watch the race unfold in the Alps.”, states Jace Gifford, In Situ’s founder.




Gifford quickly points out what distinguishes In Situ Travel’s bike tours from other tour companies’ trips: keeping the groups small. “Our trip in July is limited to only 14 guests. We don’t try to pack in as many guests as possible, like many of the competitors.” He’s got a point since it’s not uncommon for some of the other European bike tour companies to have trips where the guest count exceeds 40 people. Instead In Situ believes that guests will have a more “local” experience, by having a smaller group for their trip.

Additionally, staying true to In Situ’s core principles, there are not van transfers during the week. The entire week is spent at one hotel, located right on the race route. As In Situ iterates, this equates to more time riding and less time sitting in a van. Especially during an event as large as this, where there will be an enormous amount of fans trying to drive to and from the race, not having to deal a vehicle is a real benefit to this type of tour.

Gifford also notes, “We’ve also taken great care in choosing where our trips stay. Not only are we along the race route, but we are in easy riding distance to many of the epic alpine climbs: the Col du Glandon, the Col du Telegraphe, Alpe d’Huez, the Col d’Izoard, les Deux Alpes and more.” If your goal is to ride many of these famous routes, this itinerary might be for you.

How does a guest go about deciding on the right bike tour to see the race in France this July? It can be challenging since it’s not always clear what the benefits of one tour operator are over another. When speaking with In Situ, they believe they have found a unique niche in the market. “We feel that we offer the best value for our guests, in a smaller more personal environment to that of our competitors.”, claims Gifford. Maybe they do, but regardless of whether you choose this or another tour company, it’s clear that guests have a greater selection of tour operators than ever before.
