Overview

Our Discover the Alps trip is a perfect way to get great riding, great training and learn lots on the way! Spectacular guided rides under the watchful eye of a qualified coach. Evening lectures to inform and improve performance - the perfect combination to enhance riding performance. This trip combines an optional coaching aspect with the opening of the cols as they are cleared of snow. A spectacular time of year to ride the Alps, with snow-lined cols waiting to be conquered. This trip is ideal for riders who have not been to the Alps before but experienced climbers will love it too.
