If you are a keen cyclist wanting to improve your skill and stamina - Chalet Merlo with its base in Ste Foy Tarentaise (the epicentre of the Classic Alpine Cols) offers just the right combination of high quality training tours and comfortable luxury.
We believe our location is perfect for keen cyclists wishing to experience the thrill of beautiful and challenging routes that are run by keen veteran Tour riders. See our Alpine Cycle Tours site for the latest tour dates, camps, reviews and news.
Tailor Made Cycle Programs and Holidays
We can also offer tailor-made programmes for groups of 6 to 16 cyclists (larger groups can be accommodated on request) throughout the cycling season from May through to late September. These can be in preparation for taking part in local Cyclosportive events like the Marmotte or Time Megeve or geared more towards riders wanting to experience the Alps at a more leisurely pace.
Non-cycling spouses, partners or friends are also welcome and have a huge choice of activities to keep them busy – including walking, sailing, kayaking, rafting, climbing, horse-riding and golf, to name just a few. In addition there are numerous sightseeing options, great local food and wine, festivals and markets.
