Our Accommodation Options

The village of Les Deux Alpes stretches along a valley for almost 2km. There’s plenty to do off-piste and it offers a selection of great accommodation. For school ski tours, we favour Base Camp Lodge and Hotel L’Atmosphere which are excellent for groups and offer multiple rooming options. They enjoy sought-after locations just 7 minutes’ walk from the slopes. Ski rental is next door to Base Camp Lodge and an easy 2 minutes’ walk from Hotel L’Atmosphere. They are also surrounded by a range of evening entertainment.

Sportscar Tours in France

Sportscar Tour «Route des Grandes Alpes»

Sportscar tour «grande corniche».

One of the most beautiful car tours in France is the "Route des Grandes Alpes", during which you cross a fabulous 16 Alpine passes by car (some count 21 passes on the route), including the Col de l'Iseran, which at 2770 meters is the highest Alpine pass that can be crossed. Below we show you in what stages you can divide this sports car tour.

The road trip on the "Route des Grandes Alpes" starts in the French town of Thonon-les-Bains on Lake Geneva and ends in Menton, a municipality on the Côte d'Azur.

France Alpes Lac Leman Sportscar Tour

Day 1: Thonon-les-Bains - Bourg-Saint-Maurice

The first stage begins in Thonon-les-Bains on Lake Geneva and leads past the impressive Massif des Aravis, among other places. The destination of the first day is Bourg-Saint-Maurice in the beautiful Tarentaise Valley.

France Sportscar Tour Briancon

Day 2: Bourg-Saint-Maurice - Briançon

On the second day, the route goes from Bourg-Saint-Maurice to Briançon. This stage includes the Col de l'Iseran mountain pass at an altitude of 2770 meters. This makes it the highest pass in the Alps that can be crossed.

Sportscar Tour Ferrrari

Day 3: Briançon - Guillaumes

The third stage goes from the small town of Briançon to Guillaumes. On this stage you will be rewarded with breathtaking landscapes.

Cote d'Azur Sportscar Tour

Day 4: Guillaumes - Menton

And on the fourth day, the last stage is to be conquered, namely from Guillaumes to Menton, a small French town on the Côte d'Azur on the Mediterranean Sea. If you want, you can continue from Menton to Nice , about 30 kilometers away, and end the car tour in a hotel on the Promenade des Anglais with a view of the sea.

Here is an overview of the most important key data for the car tour "Route des Grandes Alpes":

  • Start: Thonon-les-Bains
  • End: Menton 
  • Route: approx. 720 kilometres
  • Duration: 4 days

One of the most beautiful panoramic roads in the world is the "Grande Corniche", which leads from Nice to Menton. You can easily do this car tour in one day and get fantastic views of both the Mediterranean coast and the Maritime Alps. By the way, Corniche generally refers to dream roads in France, but also to paradise roads. Especially in summer there is a lot of traffic on the "Grande Corniche" route, which is why a drive in the early morning or late evening is recommended.

Since the route is only about 30 kilometers long, the pure driving time on the "Grande Corniche" would only be about 30 minutes long. However, there are many great viewpoints and dreamy places along the route. That's why you should take the time to make a stop every now and then. We recommend dividing the car tour into at least three stages. 

By the way, the "Grande Corniche" served among other things in the James Bond film Goldeneye as a backdrop, which is why it is often used as a part of a sports car tour.

France Nice Sportscar Tour

1. Part: Nice - Col d’Èze

The first stage leads from Nice on the "Grande Corniche" route to the mountain pass Col d'Èze, from where you have a great view of the coast. If you have a little more time, you should make a detour to the beautiful old town of Èze.

La Turbie France

2. Part: Col d’Èze - La Turbie

From Col d'Èze, the car tour "Grande Corniche" continues to the small village of La Turbie, where the remains of the Roman victory monument Tropaeum Alpium (Tropaeum Augusti) still stand. The monument, where you can see a remnant of the imposing column belt, dates back to 7/6 BC.

France Cote d'Azur Sportscar Tour

3. Part: La Turbie - Menton

And finally, the last stage on the "Grande Corniche" road trip leads from La Turbie to Menton, a small town on the Côte d'Azur.

Here are a few important details about the road trip "Grande Corniche" in our overview:

  • Start: Nice
  • Route: approx. 30 kilometres
  • Duration: approx. 30 minutes pure driving pleasure

A travers la Flandre: les images de l’impressionnante chute de Wout van Aert, en larmes et sérieusement blessé

Il suffisait de l'entendre sangloter, la combinaison déchirée et l'épaule largement éraflée, pour comprendre toute la détresse de Wout Van Aert . Favori à la victoire lors de la course A travers la Flandre, ce mercredi sur les routes belges, le leader de la Visma-Lease a Bike s'est retrouvé pris dans une grosse chute et a été contraint à l'abandon.

Sur les images diffusées par Eurosport, Wout Van Aert semble malheureusement pour lui avoir été le premier à perdre l'équilibre et à chuter. Dans un effet domino terrible, plusieurs autres spécialistes des classiques flandriennes sont également allé au tapis comme le Danois Mads Pedersen et le Belge Jasper Stuyven.

>> Suivez la course A Travers la Flandre en direct

Van Aert évacué en ambulance

Durement touché et marqué par son passage sur le bitume, Wout Van Aert a semblé blessé à l'épaule droite. Si peu de nouvelles sur son état de santé ont été communiquées par son équipe, le Belge a été évacué sur civière puis transporté à l'hôpital en ambulance.

Dans un message posté sur les réseaux sociaux, la Team Visma-Lease a Bike a confirmé espérer une petite blessure mais les images n'inspirent pas vraiment à l'optimisme.

"On aurait aimé ne pas l'écrire mais il le faut...Wout a été obligé d'abandonner la course après une grosse chute, a réagi l'équipe néerlandaise. "Espérons qu'il aille bien. On vous tiendra au courant."

Vers un forfait sur le Tour des Flandres et pour les classiques flandriennes

Sans trop se prononcer sur la durée d'indisponibilité de Wout Van Aert, il semble peu probable voire impossible de le voir s'aligner dimanche sur le Tour des Flandes, deuxième Monument de la saison après Milan-San Remo . Ambitieux, celui qui espérait succéder à Tadej Pogacar au palmarès, devra se contenter de regarder la mythique épreuve à la télévision.

Son très probable forfait laisse un boulevard à l'autre grandissime favori du Tour des Flandres, Mathieu van der Poel, qui y visera un troisième sacre après 2020 et 2022. Reste désormais à savoir si Wout Van Aert reviendra pour les prochaines classiques du printemps ainsi que pour le Giro. Si une blessure légère risque de l'éloigner plusieurs semaines du circuit, une potentielle fracture lui vaudrait certainement une absence de plusieurs mois.

Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend Ayan Broomfield opens up on taking break from 'brutal' tennis Tour, seeing the American's passion for the sport

W ith its year-round scheduling and competitive field, modern-day tennis Tour can be really demanding, and Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend Ayan Broomfield would testify to as much.

During a recent Q&A session on her social media handle, Broomfield, who peaked at No. 680 in the women's singles rankings back in 2015, discussed her break from tennis.

In response to a question on her not playing tennis anymore, the Canadian said she never "officially" retired, but decided to take a break from the sport after the Covid-19 pandemic - attributing her decision to injuries, burnout, and stress.

She highlighted that the fans only get to see the glitz and glamour of the tour and not experience it from the players' side.

"Okay truth be told, I never really officially stopped," Ayan Broomfield wrote. "During/ post covid I was training and playing a lottttt which lead to a lot of injuries, burnout, and stress."
"And I use the word stress very lightly because obviously there are way worse things going on in the world, then trying to play professional tennis, but I think a lot of the times we see the glitz and glam of the WTA and ATP tour and forget how much work, time and finances go into getting there. It's brutal and I needed a break from going two cross-one line," she added.

Responding to another question on the best and worst parts of being with an athlete, Broomfield said watching Frances Tiafoe work hard day in and day out helped her stay motivated to achieve her own goals too.

"Lol idk. I guess it's just nice to spend time with someone that is passionate about what they do? Personally, seeing Frances working his b*** off day in and day out definitely keeps me motivated to work towards my own goals," she said of Frances Tiafoe's passion for the sport.

Worst part about being with an athlete are negative exposure & pressure - Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend Ayan Broomfield

In continuation of her response on the question about being with Frances Tiafoe, Ayam Broomfield said being at the centre of media attention brings with it a lot pressure and undue exposure.

She said one has to be extremely thick skinned to survive and thrive under such level of public scrutiny.

"I think having that passion and drive in any occupation is important," Ayan Broomfiled said. "Worst parts are probably the negative public exposure and pressure. Your life and relationship is on display and open for judgement."
"At the end of the day you have to have extremely thick skin because you are definitely an easy target and people are ruthless," she added.

During the course of her career, Broomfield lifted two doubles titles on the ITF Tour in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

2024 March Madness scores, winners and losers: James Madison shocks Wisconsin, SEC's struggles continue

James madison and yale delivered the two biggest upsets on the second day of the first round of the ncaa tournament.

NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament - First Round - Brooklyn

First-round action of the 2024 NCAA Tournament continued on Friday with upsets, thrilling finishes and high-scoring affairs. No. 13 seed Yale delivered the most stunning result of the day by upsetting No. 4 seed Auburn after trailing by 10 points with 7:16 to go. The Bulldogs faced a six-point deficit with 4:07 to go before finishing on a 14-6 run to advance to the second round for the second time in school history.

The upsets continued into the evening as No. 12 seed James Madison defeated No. 5 seed Wisconsin 72-61. JMU picked up its 32nd win of the season and will face No. 4 seed Duke on Sunday with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line.

No. 10 seed Colorado held off a late surge from No. 7 Florida in a 102-100 win thanks to a go-ahead jumper with two seconds remaining from star guard KJ Simpson ; Walter Clayton Jr.'s halfcourt heave at the buzzer never stood a chance for the Gators. Colorado's shootout with Florida marked the first regulation NCAA Tournament game in which both teams scored at least 100 points since 2005.

No. 1 seeds Houston , Purdue , and UConn took care of business against No. 16 seeds Longwood , Grambling State, and Stetson , respectively. Purdue star big man Zach Edey became the third player in the last 50 years to record at least 30 points and 20 rebounds in an NCAA Tournament game. 

Here are the winners and losers from Friday's action.

Winner: James Madison pulls upset

James Madison delivered a 72-61 upset over Wisconsin to help close out the first round of the NCAA Tournament for its first victory in the Big Dance since 2013. The Dukes recorded their 32nd win of the season, tying UConn for the most by a team, and set up a date with Duke on Sunday with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line. James Madison put the college basketball world on notice in the first game of the 2023-24 season when it upset Michigan State in East Lansing. Four months later, it recorded another signature win against the Big Ten in front of a larger national audience  -- Cameron Salerno

Loser: SEC has another bad day

The SEC's no-good, very-bad start to the NCAA Tournament on Thursday didn't improve dramatically on Friday with losses by No. 4 seed Auburn and No. 7 seed Florida lost to Yale and Colorado, respectively, in upsets. While Alabama and Texas A&M cruised to big wins, Auburn blew a 10-point second-half lead , and Florida gave up a go-ahead basket with seconds remaining, in their upsets. That drops the league to 3-5 for the tournament, with all five losses coming to lower seeds. -- Kyle Boone

Loser: FAU flames out

Returning nearly every major contributor from last year's Final Four team, FAU began the season ranked No. 7 in the AP Top 25. The Owls didn't hoot for long this time around, though. No. 9 seed Northwestern got 12 points from Ryan Langborg in overtime to outlast No. 8 seed FAU 77-65 after the Owls clawed back from a 54-45 deficit in the final seven minutes. While FAU's consecutive tournament appearances are a program first, the 2023-24 season will be remembered for what could have been. -- David Cobb

Winner: Jaedon LeDee puts Mountain West on his back

The NCAA Tournament hasn't been kind to the members of the Mountain West thus far. It all started with Boise State getting knocked out in First Four action; New Mexico , Nevada , and Colorado State were eliminated in the first round. The one team to avoid a letdown was San Diego State . The Aztecs defeated UAB 69-65 behind a big day from the All-American LeDee, who scored a game-high 32 points.  -- Salerno

Winner: UConn sets tone in repeat quest

Reigning national champions set the tone Friday for their bid for a repeat with a resounding 91-52 win over No. 16 seed Stetson. UConn took a 51-19 lead into halftime – its largest halftime lead in an NCAA Tournament game in program history – and yet coach Dan Hurley made his way to the locker room seeming anything but content.

"Everything should be automatic this time of year," he said, shaking his head. "Just to throttle down like that late [in the first half], that's not championship level.

"We've got to grow up a little. The last couple minutes, I didn't like," he added. 

UConn outscored the Hatters 39-32 in the second half en route to winning its 22nd game in its last 23 outings. - - Boone

No. 1 seed UConn leads Stetson by 33 points at the half -- its largest halftime lead in an NCAAT game in program history. Dan Hurley still not pleased. 😂 pic.twitter.com/npqeoVwbDP — Kyle Boone (@kyletheboone) March 22, 2024

Winner: Colorado continues Pac-12's hot start 

Colorado star KJ Simpson connected on one of the biggest shots in program history during a 102-100 win over Florida. After the Buffaloes squandered a 10-point lead with less than four minutes remaining, Simpson knocked down a corner jumper near the Colorado bench that proved to be the game-winner. Colorado is the latest team to go from the First Four to first-round winners. The Pac-12 has a perfect 5-0 record in the NCAA Tournament. -- Salerno

A LAST SECOND WINNER! No. 10 @CUBuffsMBB UPSETS No. 7 @GatorsMBK 🚨 pic.twitter.com/L3FiGvLqcy — CBS Sports (@CBSSports) March 22, 2024

Loser: Nebraska 's defense goes limp

Fans of No. 8 seed Nebraska had to travel farther than fans of No. 9 seed Texas A&M for the showdown between former Big 12 foes in Memphis , Tennessee . But the Cornhusker faithful turned out in droves to see their team seek its first-ever NCAA Tournament victory. Despite the massive edge in support, Nebraska needed a literal sixth man on the floor instead of a figurative one in the stands. Texas A&M started hot and never cooled off as it continued a solid run of late-season play. After losing five straight in February, Texas A&M has now won six of its last seven to set up a likely showdown with No. 1 seed Houston on Sunday. The Aggies entered ranked No. 353 nationally in 3-point percentage at 28.4% but drilled 13 of 23 against Nebraska to mark the third time in the last five games the Aggies have hit at least 10 3-pointers. If Texas A&M is going to play offense like it has the past few weeks, it is capable of beating virtually anyone in the bracket.   -- Cobb

It's a 10 pt lead for @aggiembk 👀 pic.twitter.com/6rM1JANdAr — CBS Sports (@CBSSports) March 22, 2024

Winner: Full-strength Marquette looks dangerous

A fast start by No. 15 seed Western Kentucky saw the Hilltoppers lead by as many as 10 points on No. 2 Marquette, but the Golden Eagles hit a gear in the second half that erased the deficit and then some in an 87-69 blowout. The comeback was propelled in part by star guard Tyler Kolek , who missed the last six games with an oblique injury. Kolek finished with 11 assists, and co-star Kam Jones scored 28 points. It was the first time in nearly a month that Marquette has been at full strength. -- Boone

Tyler Kolek is the 2nd player in @MarquetteMBB tournament history to have at least 15+ points, 5+ rebounds, and 5+ assists in a game since assists became official in 1984. The other player: @DwyaneWade . pic.twitter.com/3MUu6qphhD — CBS Sports College Basketball 🏀 (@CBSSportsCBB) March 22, 2024

Winner: Baylor shows its strength 

No. 3 seed Baylor entered the day ranked No. 8 nationally in 3-point shooting percentage at 38.8%, and it put its outside touch on display in a 92-67 win over No. 14 seed Colgate . Four different players hit at least two triples for the Bears, who made 16 of 30 from beyond the arc as a team. As the first No. 3 seed in action since fellow No. 3 seed Kentucky suffered a stunning upset loss on Thursday, Baylor quickly showed that it wasn't going to suffer a similar fate. The Bears opened up a 10-point lead in the opening six minutes and never looked back. -- Cobb

Baylor getting busy early 🐻 #MarchMadness @BaylorMBB pic.twitter.com/1HepgwDHS3 — NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) March 22, 2024

Winner: Clemson  finally clamps down

No. 6 seed Clemson isn't known for defense, but it held No. 11 seed New Mexico to just 29.7% shooting in a 77-56 win to advance the Tigers in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018. It was the first time all season Clemson held an opponent below 30% shooting. The Lobos hit just 7 of 29 attempts from the field and were 1 of 12 from beyond the arc in the second half as their comeback efforts proved futile. Slowing down Baylor in the second round on Sunday will be a more significant challenge, but the Tigers certainly looked up for it in their opener. –-Cobb

Winner: Edey, Smith shine in Purdue's opener

Purdue co-stars Zach Edey and Braden Smith guided Purdue to a blowout 78-50 win over Grambling . Edey, the reigning national player of the year, became the third player in the last 50 years to record at least 30 points and 20 rebounds in an NCAA Tournament game. Edey finished with 30 points and 21 rebounds for his third career 30-20 game — the most of any Division l in the last 25 seasons. After recording a career-high seven turnovers in a first-round loss to No. 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson last season, Smith recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 assists with zero turnovers. -- Salerno

Winner: Alabama's offense goes off

Alabama fans got not one but two wins on the day with rival Auburn losing to Yale early in the afternoon and the Crimson Tide rolling past Charleston , 109-96, in a blowout. The Tide eclipsed the 100-point mark for the 10th time this season, led by a 30-point outing from Mark Sears and 13 made 3-pointers as a team. Latrell Wrightsell led the way in that department with six. Alabama will face either Saint Mary's or Grand Canyon in the second round for a chance to make their second Sweet 16 appearance in three seasons. -- Boone
