Mountain Biking Weekend Package

Muddy bike Our great package has been carefully designed to give you maximum time riding in the mountains and make your short alpine break a relaxing and fun affair. By providing a large range of self-guide rides we ensure that you find the best routes to suit you, that you know where you're going and what to expect along the way.

We'll also accompany you on at least two days of your holiday if you like, to show you the best lunch and photo stops. We try to make it easy and hassle free at all times - after all it's supposed to be a holiday!


Thursday evening to Monday evening: 4 full days cycling, with just 2 days off work

Thursday

You catch an afternoon or evening flight from the UK to Geneva, we meet you at the airport with our spacious Mercedes Minibuses for the quick transfer. In under an hour we will have you at the Lodge ready to enjoy a late supper and a few drinks in the bar as well as to meet your Chalet Team and talk through the options for the days ahead.

Friday

Bikes and riders get a lift up! Biking guides and maps will be waiting for you to study over breakfast so you know exactly where you're going! If you are joining our hosted ride, we will ensure that your group and other guests who will be biking with you are happy and ready to go . then it's onto the mountains with one of the Karibuni team who will enable you to get your orientation within the resort and lead you to the best tracks and trails.

Meet our minibuses at the end of the day, or you may be able to cycle back to the Lodge depending on your chosen route. Afternoon tea will be waiting for you to enjoy with fresh biscuits and cakes. Later, a quick
drink in our bar could precede the 3-course dinner with wine, after
which why not relax in the lounge?

Saturday

Biking through forests Bike all day using our route guides and maps, or join our hosted ride to explore some of the hundreds of tracks available in La Clusaz and Grand Bornand. Stop at one of the beautiful traditional buvettes for lunch and take in the fantastic alpine scenery. Afternoon tea will be welcome at the end of a long day and then maybe a pre-dinner drink on the sun terrace watching the sun set over the mountains before enjoying dinner with wine - maybe in the form of a bbq if the weather is good. See our photo pages for pictures of the stunning scenery you could enjoy.

Sunday

Radical downhills optional! Could be a day to try your skill at downhills! We can drop you in La Clusaz where you can buy your day-long liftpass, allowing you access to both downhills unlimited times. Alternatively you can take our route guides and maps and discover some more cross-country tracks. When you've had enough for one day, why not challenge your friends to some luge runs - summer sledging open in July and August - or if the weather isn't so good you may like to finish your afternoon with a drink or two in one of the villages' wood-clad bars before heading back in time for dinner.

Monday

Ride all day, or if you prefer why not spend a gentler day walking some of the tracks in the area and view the mountains from a slightly different perspective. Alternatively visit the bustling market in La Clusaz to buy some local produce to take home with you. Return to the lodge for a quick afternoon tea, then shower and change in your room before we transport you back to Geneva for your evening flights back to the UK.

Throughout the summer and autumn biking season we are open to groups, couples, singles or solos/individuals.
