Cycling in Tignes

[GwynT]

It is an ambition of mine to cycle in the Alps and since I will be spending a week in Tignes skiing this Easter I fancy taking a day off the skis and hitting the road. However I am having great difficulty in finding any road bike hiring shops in the Tignes area.
I wonder if anybody could help me - and point me in the right direction. I would genuinely enjoy one hard day on the road - if that is possible. Does anyone also have a good loop of 80 miles or so in the Tignes area?

Thanks

Hi there

These two companies deliver bikes anywhere in southern France - not sure if there is a minimum number of days you'd need to hire for though:

These guys hire out VTT/MTB bikes. You could ask about road bikes - if they don't have them, they may be able to recommend someone who does:

I'd be interested to know how you get on as I get lots of bike rental queries through my website.

Cheers
