Chalet Beyond & La Marmotte: a match made in cycling heaven

For 17 years, Chalet Beyond has been a trusted cycling hotel near Alpe d’Huez. The Marmotte gran fondo remains one of Europe’s most iconic cycling events. When you combine these two, it’s a match made in heaven. Here are five reasons why Chalet Beyond is the ultimate choice for an unforgettable cycling experience during La Marmotte (and also in other periods).

Cycling hotel Chalet Beyond

1. A breathtaking environment

The flagship hotel of Chalet Beyond is located in Oz, close to Bourg d’Oisans, nestled in the heart of the Écrins National Park. This area is celebrated as one of the most stunning destinations in the world for cycling and granfondo rides, including La Marmotte.

2. A true cyclist's haven

Preparing for a challenging gran fondo like La Marmotte requires focus. Chalet Beyond has years of experience in cycling holidays and gran fondo packages, making them experts in catering to the needs of Marmotte participants. All meals and facilities are designed with cyclists in mind—healthy, delicious food with generous portions. There’s also secure bike storage, a maintenance area, and an afternoon pasta buffet. Additionally, a professional masseur is available to prepare your legs for peak performance.

3. Exclusive private feed stations

The official feed stations of La Marmotte are not always known for their abundance. But no worries! Guests at Chalet Beyond enjoy exclusive private feed stations at the summits of Glandon, Télégraphe, and Galibier.

4. Start in top form

Arrive in Oz a few days before La Marmotte for optimal preparation. Chalet Beyond offers an optional Sports Program, where experienced guides take you on warm-up rides to familiarize yourself with the route. Even without the program, you’ll receive route suggestions, training tips, and a comprehensive briefing. Choose from 5-, 6-, or 7-day packages, and tailored options are available for groups. More information about the special Marmotte package can be found here.

Zeer interessante optie. Is wellicht ook gezamenlijk vervoer vanuit/naar NL mogelijk?

Ha Tom, ik heb het even voor je nagevraagd: "Hallo Tom, Wouter hier van Chalet Beyond. Ja dat is zeker mogelijk. We hebben veel alleengaande gasten en middels een carpool vraag / update kunnen we meerijden tot stand brengen. Gezellig, voordeliger en beter voor het milieu. Ook een optie is openbaar vervoer, prima trein connectie (TGV) met Grenoble, daar de bus naar Bourg d’Oisans en in het dal doen we een privé ‘pick up’ :). Om dit te verzekeren kunnen we onderling een extra annuleringsregeling afspreken dat tot bepaalde datum kosteloos geannuleerd kan worden mocht dit helemaal niet lukken. Goed geregeld door die gasten!"

Veel dank voor de snelle en positieve reactie! In mijn geval heeft rondvragen in de eigen fietskring ertoe geleid dat ik met iemand kan meerijden die ook nog plek had ik geboekte appartement. Het mooie arrangement van Chalet Beyond hou ik voor de toekomst zeker in mijn achterhoofd.
