Imagine a playground full of mountains
Climb every mountain, or so the song goes. All it takes is the right equipment, some training and the right mental approach and you can do it. You can climb every mountain on one of our French Alps Cycling Holidays.
The mountain are a challenge, they separate the champions from the very best riders in the sports, but they are also there for anyone with an average level of fitness. With a bit of training we can all get up them, slower, much slower in many cases, but that’s not the point. Cycling up a mountain climb is a personal challenge and all that matters is that you enjoy your journey to the top.
