the trip

This six‑night cycling trip is designed for keen amateur riders who want to enjoy one of the top French Alps’ sought after cycling area, with great riding, flexible days in the saddle and fantastic camaraderie.

Taking place in ideally located Bourg-Saint-Maurice from 12 to 18 June 2027, the trip is centred around exploring the area’s classic road rides and climbs at your own pace. You’ll have time to settle in and acclimatise, choosing from a carefully researched selection of routes that showcase the best of the region. We have developed over a dozen itineraries to suit a range of abilities and riding styles, each with its own character. Detailed route notes and GPX files are provided, and while riding is self‑guided, you can ride solo or join others of a similar level if you wish - we’ll be helping put groups together each day.

Some of the Epic21 team will also be there that week and you are welcome to join us for rides or you can just ride with your friends or other participants you will meet during Epic21. This worked well during our first edition in 2026. Small groups of similar level and expectations formed during the stay and they did their own rides using some of the many suggestions we had for them.

The trip is organised by Peak Retreats, French Alps specialists since 2002, and will be hosted by founders Xavier and Olivier, both keen road cyclists with deep local knowledge. Their focus is on creating an enjoyable, well‑run cycling trip where the riding, the setting and the sense of achievement all come together in a way that suits you.
