I looked at the schedules for the mountains and time trials, and the Morzine-Avoriaz stages worked well. Poked around on the internet to find a place to stay and found an apartment for rent in Avoriaz. It's a ski resort, so there are lots of rentals available there.

If you really want to go, it's best to start planning right when the route is released so you can reserve a place to stay far enough in advance. The only other logistics you need to consider are the road closures affecting access. Those details come out closer to the race though. Hope you get to go sometime! It's a blast.
