Native Planet Adventures Proudly Presents:
"The Best of the Alps"
September 14-23, 2008

Ride the legendary mountain stages of the Tour de France and many more secret climbs to help raise funds for Native Planet!

Our modular tour allows cyclists of very different levels to participate together. Four days with optional additional climbs will begin and end at the same hotels allowing cyclists to use them as rest days if needed. The other five days will have required cycling distances (per the itinerary) with some additional climbs for the enthusiastic.

Total distance and elevation:

  Distance
(miles)
Elevation Gain (feet)
Day 1  Optional  
Day 2  40  3,737
Day 3  36  6,352
Day 4  46  6,575
Day 5  53  7,625
Day 6  63  7,129
Day 7  47  7657
Day 8  50  4,810
Day 9  61  6,286
Total  395 miles  50,170 feet

Days 1, 2, 3, and 6 will start and finish at the same place and can thus be used as rest days if desired but Days 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 cannot be shortened.

Optional Climbs:

You can choose to add to the standard itinerary: there are even more spectacular climbs almost every day that can bring your total elevation gain to a staggering 85,726ft over 593 miles (see the last 2 columns of the table below).
