Cycling holidays that take your breath away
Slipstream /ˈslɪpstriːm/
Slipstreaming is when you ride closely behind the person in front, benefitting from a reduction in your overall drag, thus making your ride easier than being alone.
It’s not about being able to ride as fast as possible to get to the finish line, it's about achieving more through the power of a team to spend more time enjoying the moments.
This is our philosophy.
Explore our two-wheeled getaways.
From lake shores to epic mountain cols.
Discover a cycling paradise in the heart of the French Alps - where the Tour de France can’t get enough of. Whether you're joining solo with friends, or as a group, we take care of everything: airport transfers, luxury chalet accommodation, guided rides, tailored route planning, and more. All you need to do is show up and ride.
Relax, refuel, recharge.
Unwind in carefully selected chalets, with your private chef serving up breakfast, afternoon cake, and evening dinners designed to fuel your rides and nourish your body. Wake up to the smell of fresh coffee and end the day sharing stories over dessert with a group that feels like old friends.
Crafted routes tailored around your group.
Our trips are built for individuals as well as groups. Whether you're joining as a private group, one of our women-only retreats or mixed group trips, you'll be part of a supportive crew of like-minded riders who love to challenge themselves and have fun doing it.
Destinations: Morzine
From the shores of Lake Geneva to the peak of Mont Blanc, Haute-Savoie is a region of the Alps that has it all.
With a history dating back more than 1,000 years, Morzine is a quintessential French alpine town. From monasteries to mining, to farming and now skiing Morzine has been through many changes over the years while still retaining its charm.
Only 1 hour and 15 minutes from Geneva airport, means you will have more time enjoying your holiday and less time travelling to it. Morzine has a lively atmosphere day and night. By being set in a valley there are a lot of options for routes each day; from gently undulating valleys, to small punchy climbs, to 23km cols.
There are plenty of great coffee shops, bars, spas, and adventure sports operators to enjoy the time off the bike almost as much as on. Morzine’s a town that really has something for everyone.
Why Morzine?
A tennis player may never get the chance to play a match at Wimbledon, a footballer at Old Trafford, and a rugby player at Twickenham, but you have the chance to ride the same epic roads as the pros take on during Tour de France.
Many people associate Morzine with its world-famous ski and mountain bike area known as "Les Portes du Soleil". Those who follow the Tour de France and Critérium du Dauphiné however may remember Lance Armstrong blowing up in the 2000 Tour claiming "it was the hardest day of my life on the bike". The most recent 2022 and 2023 editions saw the carnival of the Tour coming back to Morzine and a tough mountain stage finishing over Col de Joux Plane.
Accommodation
A catered stay in the heart of the French Alps.
We know that recovery and comfort are just as important as the ride. That’s why all of our luxury catered cycling holidays are based in one premium Alpine chalet for the entire week - close to the best bike routes, no moving, no repacking. Each chalet is carefully selected with cyclists in mind, featuring en-suite bedrooms, secure bike storage, laundry facilities, and a hot tub to help you unwind. Your alpine retreat for the week is more than just a place to sleep; it’s part of the adventure.
Central Locations
Our luxury cycling chalets are all located in or close to the centre of Morzine, giving you easy access to local cafés, bars, bike shops, and restaurants - perfect for relaxing and exploring after your ride.
En-suite Rooms
Our riders deserve a private retreat after a day in the saddle. Our selection of beautiful accommodations ensures you have that personal space with spacious en-suite rooms.
A True Alpine Stay
Each of our chalets has been selected with cyclists in mind – secure bike storage, hot tubs for post-ride recovery, outdoor spaces to relax, and a cosy, modern alpine feel throughout. It’s the perfect base whether you’re here to push your limits or take it all in at your own pace.

Ride with us.
We lead our cyclists around The French Alps following an itinerary tailored to each group, to create a week you won't forget.
The Rides
Our guided cycling holidays in the French Alps are tailored to balance challenge and recovery, with each day crafted around world-class routes, breathtaking scenery, and the energy of a Tour de France stage. Here’s a sample itinerary of how your week could unfold:
Day 1 - Arrival
Your alpine adventure begins with a warm welcome at Geneva Airport, where your private transfer will bring you to your luxury chalet in Morzine. Meet your guide, Sam, and your private chef over afternoon tea. If time allows, you’re welcome to head out for a short spin to loosen the legs.
Day 2 - The Monument
With fresh legs, take on the longest ride of the week, tracing the shoreline of Lac Léman. With a Mediterranean feel and a backdrop of the Jura and Chablais Alps, this ride is as scenic as it is satisfying while staying at low altitude and elevation gain, making it a great introduction to The Alps.
Day 3 - The Queen Stage
This is the one you'll be talking about for years. Legendary Tour de France climbs, switchback ascents, and high-mountain passes where the air gets thinner and the views get bigger. This is bucket-list riding at its best.
Day 4 - R&R (Riding and Recovering)
We keep the legs moving with a shorter ride through Morzine’s quieter corners. Café stop guaranteed. In the afternoon, unwind in the hot tub or book a massage to reset for what’s to come.
Day 5 - Rest Day Your Way
No bike today-unless you want to. Explore Morzine, swim in alpine lakes, or take in the views with a paraglide. Prefer to relax? Enjoy a massage, stretch out with some lakeside yoga, or simply sip coffee in the sun. You’ve earned it.
Day 6 - The Classic
With a solid week of riding in your legs, today’s route dives into some of the Rhône-Alpes’ most picturesque hidden gems. Expect quiet roads, sweeping valleys, and rolling terrain as you climb through traditional mountain villages and descend into lush alpine forests.
This ride is all about flow - steady gradients, long winding descents, and the kind of scenic beauty that reminds you why you came to the Alps in the first place. A classic Slipstream route that blends effort with enjoyment.
Day 7 - Finish on a High
Time to leave it all out there. Conquer one final climb-the toughest and most rewarding of the week. It’s a chance to test yourself, reflect on how far you’ve come, and soak up that mountaintop feeling of pride and satisfaction.
Day 8 - Au Revoir
After breakfast, your driver will take you back to Geneva. Legs tired, soul full, and already planning your next trip back.
