Time Megeve is an excellent introduction to riding a Granfondo in the French Alps and has become a key part of preparation for anyone with aspirations to ride the Etape du Tour, Marmotte or Haute Route. This year there are 4 distances and you can decide on the day (even after you have started!) which route to take.

To maximise your cycling holiday in the Mont Blanc region we have devised a week long stay in the heart of the French Alps, allowing one day off the bike to discover the Alpine Mecca of Chamonix.
 
Your cycling holiday starts at Geneva airport and in an hour by our inclusive airport transfer you'll arrive at our stylish Chalet in the heart of the French Alps, the Chamonix Mont-Blanc Valley.
 
We'll be exploring the Mont Blanc region in France, Switzerland and Italy taking in some well known classic climbs and our own lesser known, but equally as stunning and challenging local favourites.

The Marmotte 2021 on Sunday 4th July (TBC). 4 night stay available (may be extended for Groups)

Join us for La Marmotte Sportive (granfondo) 2021. La Marmotte is likely the world's toughest cyclosportive, taking in 170km's and 5000M of climbing finishing at the  summit of the legendary Alpe D'Huez.
 
The event can sell out within 48 hours hence it's important to plan early.
 
In 2021 we will again base ourselves at the summit of Alpe D'Huez, minutes from the registration and finish of La Marmotte and are offering either a 4 night stay - can be extended

From Mountains surrounding Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean Sea. Start by dipping your wheels in the Lake, finish with a dip in the Med.
The Cycle from Geneva to Nice features on many bucket lists - broadly following the classic Route des Grandes Alpes with some flexibility depending on your group abilities, goals and days riding.
 
We are your hosts for the Tour and will be hands on both during the booking and the Tour.
 
Offered as a bespoke fully supported tour tailored to your group, the route to the sun takes you through the majestic splendour of the Alps to the point they dip into the Mediterranean sea. We take care of the detail and logistics so you can concentrate on the riding and the views.
 
We start this point to point tour on the banks of Lake Geneva from Thonon les Bains or Evian and usually finish adjacent to Nice in Cagnes su Mer. The purists can ride to the first hotel from Geneva on day one, and finish on the promenade des Anglais in Nice, however experience has taught us that few of you wish to battle with the central Geneva traffic immediately as you arrive in the Alps.
 
The trip is very flexible and can start any day of the week throughout the end of June to the end of September.
 
Usually 6 days of challenging riding, however, for example, we can take 5 days with a fast moving, extremly fit group or stretch the days riding to take in more Cols and more of your goals such as Alpe D'Huez.
 
Taking in a good helping of Tour de France Cols such as the Colombiere, Saisies, Roseland and Iseran, to the Telegraphe, Galibier and the highest paved road in Europe, the Cime de la Bonnette. The ingredients provide an amazing tour through the Alps to the Mediterranean which you will never forget.
