The Best of Italy and France – Alps and Provence – June 2025

An Epic 15-day trip featuring the best of Italy and France.

A stunning and challenging itinerary for a group from New Zealand looking to ride the biggest and best of the Italian and French Alps as well as conquering Mont Ventoux 3 times. Starting in Bormio with the iconic Stelvio and Gavia passes, we rode around and across the Italian Lakes, returning to France and its cols of Petit St Bernand, Madelaine, Glandon, Croix de Fer, Galibier and Telegraph – with Alpe d’Huez ticked off on the rest day! And finally across Provence to Mont Ventoux where despite the heat, several made the 3 ascents in one day! Great effort and the ultimate trip and challenge!
