Epic crossing of the Alps by road bike, from Grenoble to Nice via the mythical Croix de Fer, Galibier, Izoard etc.

Join the peloton KoMunity for an exceptional crossing of the Alps: Across The Alps, from Grenoble to Nice, following the mythical Route des Grandes Alpes.
Guided five-day road bike trip with a follower car and accommodation.

Each stage is a pure delight for cycling enthusiasts. Croix de Fer, Galibier, Izoard, Cime de la Bonette... The legendary passes follow one another on spectacular roads, in the heart of the French Alps with a view of the eternal snow. A demanding adventure, designed for lovers of mountains, long climbs and breathtaking panoramas.

The stages oscillate between 70 and 115 km per day, with 1,350 to 2,730 m of elevation. Each end of the stage is dedicated to recovery and pleasure: debrief over a drink, a well-deserved meal and restful nights in comfortable hotels before setting off again to attack the Alpine giants.

From the freshness of the peaks at an altitude of more than 2500m to the softness of the Riviera and the turquoise waters of the Promenade des Anglais, the arrival in Nice marks the end of this magnificent journey. Fiesta mandatory!

Good ride. Good vibe.

Our support

F.A.Q.

What types of bikes are suitable for KomUnity platoons?

For our platoons, a road bike is necessary. We offer high-end carbon bikes for rent, available with electric assistance if required. If you wish, you can also come with your own bike.

Not sure if I have the level to join a platoon?

No average speed is required to join the KomUnity platoon. Everyone rides and climbs at their own pace, and at the top of each pass, you wait until the group is complete to leave.
Most of the destinations in our pelotons are in the mountains, so our courses are demanding: you must be able to drive between 80 and 100 km for at least 1500m of positive altitude difference at each stage.
We offer the rental of electric bikes with a range of more than 100km to allow you to overcome any difficulty.
We want to continue to see women's cycling develop. Our platoons are therefore all mixed, without exception.

How many cyclists make up the KomUnity peloton?

Depending on the capacity of our base camps, you will ride and share your evenings with 10 to 20 cyclists. Wonderful encounters guaranteed!

What accommodation (s) await me after the stage?

After a day of cycling, it's time for some well-deserved rest.
We selected the crème de la crème accommodations to set up our base camps. Everything is done to offer you maximum comfort and that you can recharge your batteries while enjoying the landscape.

And food is important, isn't it?

Primordial! Everything you need to avoid the craving is provided: gels, snacks, cold water cans and energy drinks.
As you are a cyclist, but also a gourmet and a bon vivor, you also plan to have an aperitif and a good dinner every evening.

Can I privatize a platoon?

Yes, all our travel packages and platoons can be privatized for your events. Go to the komunity.cc/events page and let us know what adventure you want for your group.

Who is this cute little guy?

He is KoMi, a raccoon who is a fan of cycling and cycling trips. What he prefers are mountain stages, and gourmet breaks

Do you have questions?

Our team will be happy to answer them!

Your testimonies

Because you're the one who talks about it best...

Great bike time spent with colleagues and organizers who were really great!
Julian P.
Already two KomUnity Pelotons under my belt during the 2023 and 2024 Tour de France, all with friends. The first in the Alps to fight against the percentages of Ramaz and the second in Ariège to enjoy nature in the hairpin bends of the Col d'Agnes.
Thanks to KomUnity and Brieux for organizing, with great care, these moments of sport but above all of sharing, conviviality, surpassing oneself and discovering magnificent landscapes. France by bike is even more beautiful.
Simon D.
Superb organization proposed by KomUnity and Brieux each year through various journeys, Mont Ventoux and its surroundings, a visit to Ariège but also days on the Tour route!
The sports program, but adapted to the group, allows you to combine performance, fun and discovery!
Thanks again!!
