Join your club ride in the mountains…

Lautaret Cycling Club

Lautaret Cycling Club is your mountain cycling club that plans your cycling and adventure holidays in the Alps and beyond. Our supported cycling tours offer the best service possible including during the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia.

We are named after one of the most stunning spots and Cols in the French Alps with overhanging glaciers and 4000m mountains, pronounced “Lo-ta-rey”.

You will get to eat hearty alpine or ibearian food, tasting the region’s famous cheeses and wines. Local guest chefs join us at the chalet or villa. We transport bags so you arrive at the end of a day's ride ready to relax.

What our riders think about us

  • "Whilst I'd been to the Alps before, Chris planned all our rides and took us to gorges and climbs in the Vercors that we'd never have known about. We'll be back"

    Rowan Brackston

  • “Everything you did made it such a fantastic holiday: researching the itinerary, taking care of the accommodation, assembling my bike, motivating me to do things I'd never done before, opening up a whole new world of cycling experiences, and being simply the best holiday organiser. You're an absolute star”

    Roger Geffen MBE

  • "Thanks for an awesome week. We were in exactly the right spot to watch Pog and Jonas on the Galibier, then watching Tom Pidcock conquer Alpe d'Huez, memories for life. We even avoided all the traffic jams by dropping off the backside"
