Christen the Cols
This trip is carefully timed to coincide with the opening of the major cols in the area. The winter snows will have just been cleared and you'll have a chance to be among the first riders of the year to scale the summits. Breathtaking scenery and snowdrift lined routes await you for 4 days of high altitude riding.
The schedule:
Wednesday
Arrive Geneva Airport between 17.00 and 20.00, we'll pick you up and take you to our chalet base in the Tarentaise valley. A hearty dinner will await you along with a quick briefing of the forthcoming days' events.
Thursday to Saturday
Our main targets will be the Col du Petit St Bernard, Cormet de Roselend and the Col de la Madeleine. We'll incorporate these cols into some beautiful circuits with some hearty lunch stops.
Sunday
For our final ride we are spoilt for choice, perhaps the Col des Saisies or the Courchevel climb might take your fancy. We'll head back to the chalet mid afternoon so we can get you back to Geneva to catch flights from 19.30 onwards.
The routes we suggest for you each day are very flexible and subject to change, weather conditions at high altitude will dictate our decision each day. Each ride will incorporate different options so that everyone gets to ride at a pace and distance that fulfills their individual needs and goals.
Cost £495 includes:
- Fully supported rides (mechanical assistance, vehicle support, guides)
- 4 nights accommodation at our Bellentre base with breakfast, afternoon tea and cakes, three course evening meal with wine.
