Tour start, summer starts and the Marmotte Big weekend. Start of the Summer season in the Alps resorts. Last night we were in the Ski Lodge in La Tania for the opening night, quiet but pleasant. Today many of the lifts will be open for general mountain access and mountain bikes. This morning we went through to view the Marmotte, a gruelling distance cycle road race that passes over 4 cols before the climb up Alp d'Huez. Will,our driver guide triathlete staff member from the winter was taking part and looked quite fresh on the Telegraph, just past the half way stage. And of course this afternoon is the start of the 2009 Tour de France in Monaco
