Roll along the borders between France, Switzerland and Italy on the ribbons of smooth asphalt that weave through the Pennine Alps.  Above the route snow covered peaks reflect sunshine, below are postcard perfect villages and glistening lakes. A road bike is the absolute best way to take in the region after the snow melts.

Canton Valais, the same beautiful base of our mountain bike adventure along the Rhône, is home to some of Switzerland’s best road cycling as well, in 2009 attracting a 2-day visit from the Tour de France. We’ll explore remote alpine valleys, climb international border cols and descend into Chamonix, France and Aosta, Italy, and finish the trip with a ride through the UNESCO-heritage vineyards that line Lac Leman. At the end of each ride, a gourmet meal, a tasty bottle of wine, and a restful night in your classic private Swiss chalet.
