We tailor each week specifically to the group’s ability, but generally, our trips are ideal for riders who can comfortably cycle 70–120 km with 1,000–2,500m climbing per day. If you’re unsure, just ask—we always ensure routes match abilities and we adapt on the go.

Absolutely! Many of our guests arrive solo. Slipstream weeks are perfect for meeting like-minded cyclists and building new friendships. We take pride in fostering a supportive, welcoming environment.

Yes, we specialise in women-only cycling retreats, carefully designed to create a positive, supportive environment. These weeks are among our most popular and cater specifically to female cyclists looking for camaraderie and confidence-building rides.

This is entirely up to you. There's nothing like the comfort of your own bike; however, we work with the fantastic bike shop Torico in Morzine to offer you a rental discount on high-spec road bikes that are perfect for mountain climbs. This year, Torico stocks an excellent selection of Di2 bikes, including Factor O2 Ultegra, Cervelo Caledonia Ultegra, and Scott Addict 105. Our clients receive a 10% discount on these rentals, but it's important to book well in advance as they do sell out quickly.

If you prefer to bring your own bike, we, along with our customers, have flown with bikes many times, and it's simple once you've done it once. Bike boxes or bags can often be rented from your local bike shop if you don't own one, and they can explain how best to pack it. For extra protection, we recommend padding the area around the hanger and derailleurs with bubble wrap.

You are required to take out adequate sports travel insurance that covers you for cycling abroad. We work with Bikmo who offer you a 5% discount on any bike insurance you take out with them through our discount code SLIPSTREAMTRAVEL

There are some great cycling shops out here however the stock isn’t guaranteed therefore if it’s essential to bring a backup to cover for if you don’t find it here. Note that if you arrive late the shops may not be open before your first ride therefore we recommend you have the equipment to cover your first day.

Summer is usually hot, high 20’s to low 30’s. It’s not uncommon for it to be in the mid 30’s which is very hot to ride in, especially when the tarmac gives off a greater temperature. It is also not unheard of for it to be extremely cold at the top of a 2,000m col. We recommend bringing layers and deciding on the day whether to just carry a gilet, sleeves, or a full coat in your back pocket.

This is dependent on your leg strength and your riding style. If you watch Chris Froome cycling he has a very high cadence, to achieve this you may want to go for something like a 50-34 on the front, and an 11-34 on the back. This is known as a 1-1 ratio. This keeps your pedals turning at low speeds on steep gradients. A 52-36 front and 11-32 back will usually be adequate if you’ve got the strength to turn a slower cadence.

The breakfast will be continental. In the evening guests usually eat out in one of the many great restaurants. We can recommend places we have tried and tasted.

Summer in The Alps is packed with adventure sports. It’s a great place for canyoning or rafting. Paragliding gives you a unique perspective of the landscape where you can usually see Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc with just the turn of your head. There is a free bus which takes you to Lac Montriond, a great way to stretch out the legs after a day in the saddle. You will receive a comprehensive Welcome Guide before your holiday which will go into more detail about what activities you can fit into your trip.

Depending on your group there are two options for lunch. We can stop at a nice cafe or auberge where there will be a choice of hot or cold lunches which will cost you around €15 plus drinks.

Alternatively, your chef will be able to make you a packed lunch including sandwiches and snacks to go in your jersey. We will stop at a picnic spot for lunch.

These options will be discussed after the booking as they will be incorporated into your itinerary.

This is entirely up to your group. You decide the pace and before your arrival, the itinerary will be sent to your group to ensure everyone is happy with the distance and routes each day in order to get the most enjoyment out of your holiday. We are flexible and understand that things may change on the day
