Itinerary - We can customise this trip for you!

Day 1: Arrive in the Chamonix Valley

We recommend a morning flight to Geneva. After arriving you will be transferred to, your hotel in Chamonix. You will have time to build your bike (or pick up your hire bike) and grab some lunch. In the afternoon you will have for a quick warm up ride,

Day 2: Col de Colombiere and Col de Aravis

A classic Chamonix route. This route is rideable in either direction. The direction we recommend  leaves you riding the Col de Colombiere from the 16km longer and harder side. Follow the valley floor for a nice 40km warm up . Grab a coffee or a can of coke in Cluses before you tackle the Col de Colombiere a 16km climb at an average of 7%, but with ramps of 10%. The climb has featured 21 times in the Tour De France and is most famous for Floyd Landis's amazing recovery ride just before he tested positive for PED's. Over the top of the Colombiere take care on the technical descent and then climb up the Col des Aravis. Technically the lowest pass in the Aravis range at 1486m, the climb has been used 40 times in the Tour de France. A small collection of cafe's and restaurants make this a good place to stop for Lunch. From here descend down and return to Chamonix.

Day 3: Ride to Switzerland

It's always a novelty to pack the passport and ride to another country for lunch and from Chamonix you can take nice route over the Col de la Forclaz into Switzerland and have lunch. 

Day 4: Departure day

There is time for one final cafe run before we transfer you back to the airport. We recommend you get an afternoon or evening flight. If you want to extend this trip, this is possible. Simply contact us.
