Free, Women-Only Swiss Alps Cycling Packages Launched By Kudos Cycling

For women who want to take their Alpine cycling skills and fitness to another level, Swiss performance cycling holiday outfit Kudos Cycling has launched women-only cycling packages based in Saillon, at the heart of Switzerland’s 4 Vallées

Trips are tailored to individuals and groups of female club mates or cycling buddies, with all levels of confidence, ability and fitness catered for. Guests are based in luxurious bike-friendly accommodation at the 4* Hotel de Bains de Saillon, surrounded by vineyards, orchards and stunning mountain views, with the town’s thermal baths perfect for post-ride recovery and relaxation

With an incredible variety of cycling landscapes to explore, from picturesque villages in the valleys, to the multiple switchbacks of famous mountain passes, Switzerland’s Valais region has world-class riding well-known to the Tour de France and Tour de Suisse

Whether it’s on a three-night break or a week-long cycling holiday, all Kudos Cycling’s daily guided and vehicle-supported rides are designed by local pro rider Steve Morabito. Each route has specific training objectives for rider development – such as descending, climbing, pacing, echelon riding and effective cornering – all without the distraction of any macho MAMILS.

Each morning there is a full-team pre-ride training briefing, plus in-the-field coaching support during the day, and one-to-one consultancy sessions with Kudos Cycling’s ex-pro riders and coaches. UCI-trained mechanic, nutrition expert and Kudos Cycling women’s performance specialist Tess Lawson will also be on hand. Regardless of level, every rider should go home a better, fitter and more confident Alpine cyclist.

All Women-only packages include:

• Bike-friendly, luxury accommodation at 4* Hotel de Bains de Saillon
• Tailored, guided and vehicle supported rides
• Coaching and feedback
• Breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner
• Group airport transfers
• Welcome pack and branded Katusha cycling jersey

Riders will work with Swiss ex-professional cycling coach Guillaume Bourgeois and the Kudos Cycling team from up to 8 weeks prior to their arrival in the Swiss Alps. On arrival they will be fitness tested with a lactate analysis, before taking on tailored, guided and supported training rides, developing a training plan with a coach to achieve their season’s goals, as well as performance analysis to take them to the next level.

Intro to Alpine Cycling

Tailored Club or Group Alpine Cycling

Bespoke cycling holidays for any group or club riders training for a sportive or charity bike ride – or those who just want a fun weekend riding in the Swiss Alps.
