Martin emailed to ask about accommodation for cyclists in the Maurienne Valley.
The beautful Maurienne Valley is a popular cycling destination in France.

Question:
Dear Lyn
I was thinking of getting a trip organised to the Maurienne Valley area with the focus on Iseran and the Galibier. Do you have any thoughts on hotels that cater for cyclists in the middle of these 2 areas
Kind regards,
Martin.
Answer:
Check Andy's article about for more info.
I hope that helps.
Lyn.
Martin's reply:
Hi Lyn
Thanks for the info.
A group of friends and I do some mountains each August. I have just come back from the Stelvio, Gavia, Mortirolo, so this sounds like a good trip.
We have previously done the Alpe d'Huez area, Ventoux and Tourmalet area, so this should be a nice challenge.
It looks like we would be able to access the following:
Col du Iseran, Col du Galibier, Col du Telegraph, Col du Glandon, Croix de Fer, Mollard, Chaussey, Madeleine, Mont Cenus, Du Lac.
I'll check out Andy's book and look into the Hotel de l'Europe in St Jean de Maurienne. The only other one with the same kid of offer is the Hotel Saint George's, although one in Modane in the centre would be ace.
All the best.
Martin.
