Probably more than any other French ski resort Alpe d'Huez has proven itself to be a destination for road cycling enthusiasts.
It is home to the oft mythologised Twenty One Bends, one of the most famous and grueling mountain stages of the Tour de France, but there are many more routes in the area that can be tackled on two wheels.
