Three-Day Swiss-French Jura Cycling Camp with Coaching and Nutrition Support

France · 3 days · From EUR 700 (indicative)

Day one heads from Septmoncel into Switzerland for the Vallée de Joux and the Col du Marchairuz, one of the highest passes in the Swiss Jura. From there the route takes the Route des Montagne through cows' pasture land in the Parc du Jura Vaudois, descends to La Côte at the foot of the Swiss Jura with views over Lac Léman, then climbs to Saint Cergue and the Col de la Givrine before crossing back into France. That is 105km with 2,000m of climbing.

Day two follows the Valserine valley through the Haut-Jura regional natural park, passing Lélex, Champfronier, Giron and Lamoura on roads used by the 8th stage of the 2017 Tour de France. The descent into St Claude and the hairpins of Septmoncel are the standout. It is 101km with 2,200m of climbing, and the ride notes suggest buying Comté cheese from the Jura if you have room in your jersey pocket.

Day three climbs the Jura 3 Peaks: La Barillette, the highest paved road in the Jura Vaudois, La Baudichonne and the Col de la Combe Blanche. The views take in Lake Geneva, La Dôle and Mont-Blanc. It is the shortest day at 95km but the hardest, with 2,900m of climbing.

All three routes are on Strava, so you can look at the profiles before you commit. The camp is built for riders preparing an event — one past guest was training for L'étape du tour — and the pre-camp programme and testing are there to get you ready before you arrive.

Off the bike there are nutrition and strength training workshops, and time for recovery and stretching. The base is a modernly decorated chalet in Septmoncel, with breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
