Daily TGV services from Paris with connections to London, Amsterdam and Brussels. We can arrange for a transfer (not included). As a part of our environmental commitment, we encourage you to take on the adventure of the train, from the mentioned capitals a change is required in Paris, two stops on the RER train line D between Gare du Nord and Gare de Lyon.

Lyon and Geneva airport

We can arrange for transfers. Lyon airport is located an hour and a half with Geneva just over two hours drive.

Our cycling holidays are for all levels of cyclist. Where we ride the terrain is typically mountainous, depending on the location, there are also traffic free flat valley rides. A typical ride will have a minimum of 1000m of climbing.

We typically have two groups on the road, so two different paces. You can switch between each group depending your energy level each day.

The level of challenge depends on the tour and rides we can personalise these for you and your group, get in touch and we can suggest or design your holiday for you.

If you are wanting a tailored experience, we can adapt to different levels:

Easy riders: those wanting a holiday with some activity and the aim is to enjoy the scenery and local produce at a steady pace.

Col hunters: those wanting to ride the famous climbs. You’re typically a bike racing fan. You are able to complete a ride with 1500m of elevation gain

Full gas: those wanting to clock up the maximum elevation gain, distance and classic cols. The sky is the limit! You’re a mountain goat

The Alps are typically blessed with warm sunny weather during the cycling season, it is typically warm in the valleys and refreshingly mild at the summits.

This is the mountains and the weather can change fast, we highly recommend bringing a light rain jacket and arm warmers. We typical set off in the morning around 9am to avoid any early evening thunderstorms.

Please inform us by e-mail.

Of course we accommodate those who cycling is not the primary goal depending on the week proposed, we have so many activities as diverse as spa treatments to rock climbing.

Weeks where we are based in one location are better for non-cyclists.

Yes travel insurance is complusory for all of our holidays.

Complusory cover: road cycling (touring as opposed to racing or competitive cycling)
