Welcome to Bike Weekender - your chance to enjoy a short break mountain biking weekend or road cycling holiday in the mountain resorts of La Clusaz and Grand Bornand in the beautiful French Alps. From our chalet base we have biking and cycling holidays and weekends to suit individuals, couples or groups of family or friends.
We are very pleased that once again we are offering alpine road
cycling weekends as well as our long established mountain
biking holidays - particularly so as the Tour
de France again visits our villages. Our Road
Biking page can give you more detailed information about these weekend
tours and we will continue to update the whole website with further details
over the next few months.
The Aravis mountains are a stunning cycling area with miles of cross-country mountain biking trails and dedicated gnarly downhill mountain bike tracks, through pine forests and alpine pastures, and fantastic mountain roads and cols for road biking, made famous by the Tour de France and with stunning views over the Haute Savoie mountains and valleys. A perfect cycling destination!
More and more people are discovering that our weekend trips to the French
Alps provide the perfect short break holiday. You can; hire
one of our mountain bikes for reasonable prices or bring your own, use
our maintenance kit and store your bike in our well-equipped bike room.
Add
to that the relaxed fully-catered
chalet atmosphere and a dedicated chalet team and you're sure to get
the most from your alpine biking weekend away in the Aravis Mountains.

Bike Weekender breaks are not the only summer holidays run by Karibuni, who also offer a wide range of tours both in France and the UK. Walk Weekender offers another opportunity to explore the Alps on two feet, or our Alpine Activity breaks for groups provide a more varied yet active weekend away in the French Alps. In addition we have a self-catered chalet too for those who may like to come and spend a week's holiday relaxing, walking or riding in the mountains and exploring the area on a more independent basis.
If you prefer the mountains in Winter then have a look at Karibuni's dedicated short break skiing website - Ski Weekender - or the Karibuni website itself which offers weeklong ski and snowboard holidays as well as various self-catered chalet, appartment or hotel-stay skiing options and airport transfers within the region.
