Relax in the luxury 5-star Park Gstaad Hotel and enjoy a long weekend of riding in the Swiss Alps with local guides on our home roads!
Your base for the week will be Gstaad, located in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps. Gstaad is easily accessible from Switzerland's major airports (1h 30m from Bern airport and 2h 30m from Geneva airport) making it the perfect location for your luxurious alpine stay!
The area is a biking paradise, the views are spectacular, the air is
fresh and the roads are smooth with minimal traffic. The numerous
mountain passes mean there is plenty to explore by bike … and depending
on your level there’s something for everyone! Pro races have also been
hosted here, most recently the 2018 Tour de Suisse which finished and
started in Gstaad. Team Sky, Lotto-Jumbo and Bora-Hansgrohe chose to
stay in the luxury Park Gstaad Hotel!
We have partnered with the 5-star Park Gstaad Hotel to provide the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing yet sportive holiday. The hotel boasts a range of fantastic facilities including a new Bianchi Lounge which will be opening in the summer '19 season! It's also the perfect place to explore after a day in the saddle; spend the afternoon relaxing in the spa, or head into Gstaad and have a look around its many shops.

We will then enjoy a winding descent down to Gruyères.
