Overview

Perhaps it was your first glimpse of the complex if mesmerizing choreography that defines the peloton surging through the French countryside that hooked you.

Perhaps it was taking in the power and glory of the Alpe d’Huez, but one stage in the great arc of mountains stretched from Southeast France into Northern Italy and Switzerland.

Perhaps it was a rush of pride seeing LeMond, Lance or Floyd–whatever their circumstances–pulling on the Maillot Jaune, the Yellow Jersey: an American ascending to podium, reigning over the greatest Grand Tour in the World: Le Tour de France.

The Grand Départ of the 109th Tour de France will take place Copenhagen, Denmark. Originally, the 2021 Tour would have kicked off in Denmark, but a combination of COVID-19 and the European Football Championships forced the organization to develop a different scenario. The 2022 edition kicks into gear on Friday 1 July, while the race is set to finish on Sunday 24 July.

Denmark will host three stages in 2022. The rest of the route will be revealed sometime this fall during the Tour de France Official Presentation in Paris.

At that point, Escape Adventures will design different trips with Alps and Pyrenees in mind from mild flat terrain to high mountain days.

Our trip represents something of a shadow Tour, albeit decidedly more accommodating if not far softer in the saddle. While we don’t cycle the actual Tour de France course, our routing parallels various tour stages; though on backroads, la route panoramique set to far less challenging landscapes.

At the close of each day’s ride, our support van shuttles the group to an optimum viewing spot. With bikes racked, we transition seamlessly to experience up-close the energy, rich culture and panache that is the Tour de France, (which turns 119 in 2022). Now, only a few feet separates you and Tadej Pogacar, Igan Bernal, Primoz Roglic, Mathieu VanDerPoel, Wout Van Aert, …

Besides having your very own Soigneur, (healer / massagist) our Tour/France trip affords the flexibility to fade or figuratively switch gears whenever your legs start to give. Or, the attractions prove too compelling: be it the Grottes at Lourdes to The Louvre; the Arc de Triomphe at the end of the Champs-Elysees, or an impromptu forest hunt for truffles.

Built to accommodate all ages, cadences, conditions or personal whims, the itinerary is eminently flexible, shaped in a cooperative spirit. By all means, this is your Tour de France.

Travel Day: Beginning of July, Fly to Paris from USA.

We present a range of mileage options on each tour as well as provide support vehicles as much as possible. That way you can take a break and do as little or as much as you would like each day.

Why travel with Escape Adventures?

Our Commitment to You

For over 25 years, the hallmark of an Escape Adventures tour is personalized, hands-on service. Before, during, and after each trip. We are a company of honesty and integrity and we stand behind our product 100%. From the moment you learn of our trips, to the time you return home and start planning your next trip, we are here to bring you the best possible experience. From our Guaranteed Trip Departure Confirmation Policy, making sure your trip is never cancelled*, to our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee Policy, backing the unrivaled consistent quality of all our tours, our commitment to you is never compromised. * Scheduled Domestic trips only.

Our Commitment to the Environment

Our environmental commitment is second to none. We run our tours the same way we run our company, with an eye on the triple bottom line: People, Profit & Planet. At Escape Adventures, we elected to pursue a more comprehensive approach to actually reduce our carbon footprint, rather than just offset it. We overhauled our entire operation — from our vehicles, to our buildings, to our procedures — to become an outdoor industry leader in the charge to help our people and our planet.

Exceptional Service and Exceptional Guides

Leading tours naturally followed from our passion of exploring our favorite places with our friends. Our support staff includes our reservation team who is there to answer your questions about the tours, our service team who prepares your bike and gear for the tour, and our guide team – the ones who take you into the great outdoors. The highest level of responsibility, good nature, integrity, and dedication are standard traits of all those who work at Escape Adventures. We our proud of it and we think you should know it.

The Best Support Vehicles

Having custom-made vehicles allows us to take you to places few other outfitters can, or will go. Every Escape Adventures tour is accompanied by at least one support vehicle, trailer, and in some cases a second and third transfer van. After purchase, we custom engineer our trucks, vans, and trailers by our on-staff mechanic to meet the unique needs of different tours. For example, certain vehicles are specifically designed for the Canyonlands region of Utah, while others are designed for The Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Each of our Trip Leaders is required to be trained in safe vehicle operation, 4X4 driving, and basic maintenance. Our experienced Trip Leaders make it look easy, transporting you and up to 12 guests, along with their bikes, fresh food, gear and plenty of drinking water to any location.

The Best Bicycles and Gear

Make your trip as comfortable as possible on the body, as simple as possible for traveling, and hassle-free on tour. By choosing to rent a bike from us, we will fit you with the newest, highest quality gear in the industry. Escape Adventures provides only high-end bicycles from Specialized. We replace our rental fleet each season to ensure all our rentals meet our high standards. All of our bikes are equipped carbon fiber frames and disc brakes designed for a smooth, comfortable ride. For those who are touring with a companion who may not be as fit or need a little help up the hills, we now have ebikes (electric pedal assist) available on select tours.

The Best Food

Our food isn’t just good, it’s good for you.

Food represents a big part of the Escape Adventures experience. On our inn tours most dinners and breakfasts unfold at local favorite restaurants. We also have energy snacks aboard our support vehicles. Don’t be surprised if your guides purchase fresh fruits and healthy snacks throughout the day while you’re enjoying a ride. They may just show up on the trail with a local treat! An increasing number of our guests are vegans or vegetarians, whom we not only accommodate but also pleasantly surprise. Should you possess special diet requirements and/or limitations, just let us know at sign-up. We’ll work with you to meet those critical needs.
