Have you ever dreamt of conquering the most famous climbs of the Tour de France, and have the chance to feel like a pro rider, with daily massages, nutrition, powermeter, coaching, service vehicle? Join us on this epic trip, for an experience of a lifetime, and ride the legendary cols of the French Alps!
This camp is slightly different from the ones we organize all year in Mallorca, as the bike hire is not included. If you don't want to travel with your own bike, renting one here is possible with extra costs. If you have any questions, please send us a message.
Depending on weather conditions, ability of the group, and level of fatigue, the following plans are subject to change. This is a bespoke training camp, so we adapt everyday, like a pro team!
After picking you up at the airport, we will drive you to our base camp, in Morzine, where you will meet your new teammates, the staff, and have your first dinner as a team. After dinner, we will have a long briefing about the week ahead of us, and will have you trying the cycling kit and helmet, while bikes will be set up and adjusted by our bike mechanic, Marc. Congratulations, you're officially a SCCC rider!
After having your first 100% homemade breakfast, and getting a safety briefing, we will head out for our first ride of the week, towards the Vallée d'Abondance, with two pretty challenging climbs: the Col de Tréchauffé, with a spectacular view at the top over the lake of Annecy, and Col du Corbier.
Daily routine: breakfast, briefing, ride, lunch, recovery with compression boots and Compex, massage, workshop and dinner. It's time to live like a pro! Stay focused on your training and your recovery, we will take care of everything else, from cleaning bikes to washing kits. That’s the pro team experience!
Our third ride will be less difficult than the two previous ones. We promise. The climbs will be shorter and a bit more rolling than the days before: Col de la Vernaz, Col de Jambaz and Col de Fry, second and third category climbs only!
This will be one of the main attractions this year. The longest climb we ever conquer during one of our cycling camps: the Col de la Pierre Carrée. Get ready for a long adventure. With more than 20km at 6%, this is one the hardest climbs in the cycling world.
It may be the shorter ride of the week, but definitely not the easiest one! To boost your motivation and push you to climb Joux Plane as fast as you can, we will organize an entertaining competition within the team : a Handicap Hill Climb Time Trial. An amazing climb that has been tackled many times by Tour de France riders.
We call it the Queen Stage! For the final ride of our cycling camp, we will go climbing two of the most legendary Cols of the Tour de France. The Col de Joux Plane from Morzine (10k at 7%), Col de la Ramaz (14k at 7%), and Col de la Joux Verte. An epic ride to conclude this incredible week of cycling in the French Alps!
It's time to say goodbye see you soon! After collecting equipment, giving back your pedals and saddle, we will drive you to Geneva airport to catch your flight. Hope you had a blast on and off the bike, made new friends, and will come back soon to the Sa Calobra Cycling Club!
We’ve all seen those epic photos and videos of pro riders climbing with breathtaking mountain views. That's what you will get - free of charge - at the end of your training camp. Our team will capture all those moments for you with 4K cameras and very cinematic drone shots, edited with great soundtracks that will make all your friends jealous!

This camp will be more difficult than the ones we organize in Mallorca. With some of the most incredible climbs of the Tour de France, it will be a challenging and rewarding week on the bike. Lots of elevation also means lots of descents. Therefore, it is important to feel comfortable downhill as well.
Let’s be clear: speed on a bike means absolutely nothing! Whether you’re riding alone or in a group, battling headwinds or cruising with a tailwind, on flat roads or hilly terrain, speed can vary dramatically—even with the same power and effort. This is why we don’t provide average speeds on our website; we want to avoid any confusion. Some rides will be fast, others slower, but all will be challenging, regardless of the route. Compared to other camps, ours requires a relatively high level of fitness—whether due to the pace on flat sections or the difficulty of the climbs.
Depending on the level of participants or fatigue, we will be able to split into two different group levels (two different paces), each group led by one of our two guides.
Of course! You will be able to change group every day, depending of your level of fatigue.
To be able to tackle long and steep climbs, we recommend you to use mountain gearing for this cycling trip, with a 50/34 compact chainring, and an 11/30 or 11/32 cassette.
To reserve your spot, please email us at hello@sacalobra.cc or call/text us at +33 688 699 160 (WhatsApp is ok). We will send you a registration form within one business day to complete your reservation. Payment is required in two installments. A deposit of 500 euros is required at the time of booking to secure your place for this camp. The remaining balance is due 2 months prior to the event. If you are booking within 2 months of the event date, payment is required in full. Please see our Terms & Conditions for more information on how to book and our cancellation policy.
Please review our Cancellation Policy for more details.
The costs of organization are completely different in the Alps than in Mallorca. The chalet we rent is a lot more expensive (but also super luxurious with a jacuzzi and a sauna), the cost of travel for the staff and all the equipments is high from Mallorca to Morzine, and we will also have more staff working in the Alps, including a second guide on the road. It's a different experience.
Yes, bib shorts, a jersey, and a pair of socks are included (worth 190 euros). You can also purchase other items (gilet, base-layer, etc) on site, at the wholesale rate. Read More
Yes, there are options for non-riders on certain dates but we can not accommodate children. If you would like more information on this, please consult our non-riders package.
