Thousands of amateur cyclists took on the legendary climb to Plagne Centre on Sunday 20th July as part of the 2025 Étape du Tour – the official amateur stage of the Tour de France.

Did you spot the residence Manaka in the background? 👀

We can’t promise you a spot in the Tour de France, but we can help you book your next trip to La Plagne 👉 http://bit.ly/3H0SD9Y

Nothing quite like a mountain on a bluebird day 😍 Who else is counting down?❄️

Is anyone else excited to watch Tour de France kick off tomorrow? 🚴‍♂️

This year’s Grand Départ starts in Lille in northern France and will finish with a time trial from Monaco to Nice (the first time in history it won’t end in Paris!) Over 3 weeks, riders will take on 21 stages covering a massive 3,383km, with iconic mountain climbs and scenic routes through the Alps and Pyrenees.

We’ll be glued to the screen watching it unfold. Who are you backing this year? 👇

PS: Feeling inspired? If you’re looking for your own cycle challenge next year, check out our Epic 21 Alpe d’Huez Cycle Challenge. It’s your chance to take on some of your own legendary climbs!

01/07/2025

It's 1st July and it feels like we've stepped into an oven, but do you know what else today is? We're now officially closer to resorts reopening than we are to the start of the year 🥳

Crisp mornings, fresh corduroy, and that first chairlift of the season aren't as far off as they feel right now! So while everyone's melting, we're dreaming of snow 😋❄️

Who else is already thinking about their first run of winter 2025/26?

25/06/2025

Join us in France's legendary cycling capital, Alpe d'Huez, for the ultimate bucket list challenge of riding the mythical 21 hairpin bend ascent to Alpe d'Huez as many times as you can on the challenge day of this 5-day adventure - that could be 2, 3 4, 5 or even 8 times!

Three ascents would be a huge challenge for most regular road cyclists and a milestone moment for those achieving this. Those used to ultra events might want to aim for 8 climbs , meaning they will have 'Everested' the challenge.

Whatever your target, if you want to take on something big for 2026 or you are looking for your next challenge, then this is for you.

Spaces are limited, so don’t hang about! 🚴🏼‍♂️

What better way to cool down in this heatwave? Here are some ski snaps to remind you where you could be in just 24 weeks' time. Snow, slopes and mountains,... it's never too early to start counting down ❄️

12/06/2025

And the winner of this year’s SnowSnaps competition is ....

🥁 Drum roll please 🥁

A huge congratulations to Georgina, her photo received the most votes and has won her a £150 EcoSki voucher, a Wipeout Pistemaps & Gifts for Skiers snakes and ladders (slopes and lifts!) game, and a Peak Retreats neck warmer.

📸 Georgina said:
“Delighted that this photo has received so many likes! We absolutely loved our holiday in La Plagne and this picture captures it perfectly, even though our daughter is missing (she was off racing around the mountains with friends). Just after this was taken came my most memorable and scariest moment of the trip (I can laugh about it now!) when my amazing Ski Squad quite literally came to my rescue.”

Thanks to everyone who entered and voted, same time next season? ⛷️
