About the Book

A guidebook describes nine challenging yet picturesque cycle tours in the French Alps - eight circuits of roughly one week, plus the two-week 'Grand Traverse' from Geneva to Nice. The classic high passes of the French Alps are included, the routes covered are Tours of the Ain, Chablais-Aravis, Mont Blanc, Chartreuse-Bauges, Belledonne, Ecrins-Grandes Rousses, Southern pre-Alps including Mont Ventoux and the Grand Traverse of the French Alps. The cycle tours are divided into day stages - generally 50-80km per day, with an average of 1000-1500m height gain. Although all the tours are in mountain areas, the scenery - from the rolling hills of the Bugey to the dramatic limestone gorges of the Chartreuse or the snowy peaks of the Ecrins - is extremely varied. The route is outlined for each day stage, together with profiles and a list of facilities and services.

About the Author :
Paul Henderson lives in Chambéry in the Savoie region of France. Over the last ten years, he has come to know many of the Alpine massifs extremely well but, at the same time, feels he has hardly scratched the surface of what his adopted home has to offer. The guides he has put together for Cicerone were motivated by a desire to share the joy he has found ski touring and cycling in the French Alps.
