Starting from Provence, we discover the high roads and deep gorges of the Provences of Alpes de Haute Provence, Queyras, the Dauphiné Alps and finally to the majestic Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Discover two very unique areas whilst dining on fine local cuisine.

 This tour takes you from the deep gorges of Provence to the rock formations of the Verdon that shelter us in its pure form. The wild rapids and rich fields of the Alpes de Haute Provence entice us as we tackle the great climbs of Allos, Bonette and Vars arriving in the Dauphiné Alps riding the greats of Galibier and Alpe d'Huez...
