Cycling in The Alps - Photo Copyright Dave LawranceOnce again we will be offering our Alps Bike Week, which will be based at the Winter Olympic town of Albertville in the Savoie region of the French Alps. We have found the area to be fantastic for cycling and offers a huge range of rides, suitable for all abilities.

For those who want to ride the climbs there are plenty to choose from as the Col de la Colombiere, Aravis, Saisies, Forclaz, Madeleine, Cormet de Roseland and Mont Revard are all within easy daily cycling distance from our base. For those who want more gentle cycling then the flat circuit of the beautiful Lake Annecy could not be better.

One day in the week there will be the opportunity to ride both the Col du Galibier and the famous L’Alpe d’Huez.

The week would be ideal for anyone wishing to put in any last minute training for the Etape du Tour or any other event you may be planning to do in the summer. It would also be suitable for anyone just wanting a week away with like minded people riding on some of the most beautiful roads in the World.
The week will be based at the 3* Hotel Roma on the outskirts of the Winter Olympic town Accommodation will be on half board basis (bed, breakfast & evening meal).
