Invariably on the route of the Le Tour, as the town sits at the base of the road to Alpe d'Huez and the legendary switchbacks to the top of the mountain. Those wanting to test their skills against the professional cyclists' times can rent bicycles in Bourg d'Oisans and ride to the top where the tourist office offers a certificate of official completion that costs one Euro.
Surrounded by several well-known mountain resorts, including Alpe d'Huez and Les Deux Alpes, with the Écrins National Park to the south-east of Le Bourg-d'Oisans (el. 730m).
