Chalet Ribot offers cycling accommodation on Alpe d Huez.
What makes us a cycle specific chalet?
Daniel and Susan who own and run Chalet Ribot are keen riders themselves. Daniel is an ex-road rider turned cross country mountain biker who is now an avid fan of downhill mountain biking. We know what cyclists want and need, comfortable beds, hot powerful showers, relaxed and cosy atmosphere and most importantly, fantastic home cooked, healthy food, with man sized portions! The chalet has its very own bike shed with work shop, wash area for cleaning the bikes down, track pumps, bike stands, jigs and a large selection of specially made riding maps and  guides for all the routes in the area. Each one of the chalets within the main house has an extensive, up to date collection of road riding and mountain bike magazines for you to enjoy at your leisure. The chalet's principle lounge also has a great collection of road riding and mountain biking films and DVD ‘s courtesy of Andrew Mee from Kona bikes and Paligap ltd.

The location of our chalet on Alpe d'Huez  means that you have the perfect base from which to climb some of cycling's most famous Cols. Local climbs include Col de la Croix de Fer, Col du Galibier, Col du Glandon, Col de Telegraphe, Col de Lautaret, Les Deux Alpes, Col d'Ornon and of course the legendary Alpe d'Huez,  to name a few!

Alpe d’Huez is, of course, famous for the Tour de France, which passes right outside our front door, as well as La Marmotte race, La Vaujany and many other sportifs. Every Thursday  you can take part in the Alpe d’Huez time trial. Cyclists of all levels can join in, free of charge, you even get a lead team support car which blasts out a running commentary and music on its P.A system. This should help spur you on, as you  climb the 21 hairpins to the summet of Alpe d'Huez and the Tour de France finish line. Fancy a crack at  Marco Pantani’s record time of 36 minutes 50 seconds?? So whether you are a road cyclist, mountain biker, tourer or just a fan of cycling and the mountains, then our catered cycling accommodation on Alpe d’Huez is just what you are looking for, hope to see you soon on the Alpe!!
