Annecy is our home turf. For the Ascension long weekend, we take you on our favourite roads: the lake loop to warm up your legs, the Col de Leschaux and the Semnoz for the climbers, and the Forclaz for the most stunning view of the lake. And because we never do things by halves, we also lace up our trail shoes for a run between Mont Veyrier and Mont Baron.

Antoine coaches you from the first kilometre to the last, with a support car for refuelling stops and tough moments. You ride at your own pace, as a group, without worrying about the route. In the evening, we meet around the table to relive the day.

What's planned

3 rides and 1 trail run, at your own pace

This trip is for cyclists who already ride regularly: you should be comfortable over 60 km with 1,000 m of climbing. The trail run is accessible if you already run 10 km off-road. You climb at your own pace and we regroup at the top. A road bike in good condition is essential. E-bikes are welcome, just let us know when you sign up.

Thursday · Lake loop

42 km, 300 m elevation gain

Welcome at 10am in Annecy (meeting point shared when you sign up), bike set-up, then the lake loop in the afternoon via the cycle path and the east shore. A short technical run on the way back to prepare for the trail.

Friday · Leschaux and Semnoz

75 km, 1,600 m elevation gain

The Col de Leschaux from Sevrier, then the Semnoz via the ridge road. Picnic with the support car. If there is still snow on the Semnoz, we ride through the Bauges instead.

Saturday · Veyrier and Baron trail

12 km, 900 m elevation gain

From the ridges of Mont Veyrier to Mont Baron, with the whole lake below you. Technical downhill workshop, free afternoon, Savoyard dinner. An easy bike ride replaces the trail for those who don't run.

Sunday · Col de la Forclaz

60 km, 1,000 m elevation gain

Along the east shore to Talloires, up the Forclaz and a stop at the paragliding viewpoint. Back via Doussard, finishing around 2pm.

Frequently asked questions

What level do I need?

You should ride regularly and be comfortable over 60 km and 1,000 m of climbing. You climb at your own pace, and we regroup at the top.

What if I don't run?

Saturday's trail run is short and accessible. If you prefer, an easy bike ride replaces it: just tell us when you sign up.

What if it rains or snows?

Antoine adapts: lower loops, days swapped around, a forest trail. In early May the summits can still be snowy, and we take no risks.

Can I bring an e-bike, or rent a bike?

Yes to both. Let us know about the e-bike so we can plan for charging. Several shops rent road bikes in Annecy, and we'll give you some addresses.

I'm coming on my own, is that OK?

Of course. The dedicated WhatsApp group lets you get to know everyone before the trip, and even share accommodation with other participants.

What happens if not enough people sign up?

The trip goes ahead with 6 participants or more, confirmed at the latest one month before departure. Otherwise, you get a full refund.

What if I need to cancel?

With the flexibility option, you are refunded according to the plan you chose. Without it, our terms and conditions of sale apply.

How do I get there?

By train to Annecy station (direct TGV from Paris in about 3h40), or by car via the A41. For your bike on the train, bring a bike bag or book a bike space.

Share how it went, even if it's honest and nuanced: it guides future adventurers and earns you Club points.
