Preparing for Your Cycling Discovery Camp: You Don't Need to Be a Pro to Have an Unforgettable Week

---

Hesitating? That’s a Good Sign.

If you’re wondering whether a one-week cycling tour in the Alps is for you — it probably is.Not because you’re ready for the Tour de France, but because you’re curious, motivated, and craving something real.

A discovery camp isn’t about watts or trophies. It’s about the road, the view, the people.And if you can ride 50-60 km with a bit of climbing, then guess what? You’re ready.

What You Really Need

• A base of 2-3 rides per week

• Comfort riding 50-60 km with some elevation

• The desire to take your time, enjoy the moment

• A bit of consistency — and the rest will follow

No FTP needed. No ego required. Just a good saddle, working gears, and a smile.

A Simple 4-Week Prep Plan

• 3 weekly rides:

  1 easy spin (20-30 km)

  1 moderate ride with hills (40-60 km)

  1 tempo ride (20-30 min steady pace)

• Test your gear: shoes, shorts, saddle. Comfort is performance.

  
  

What Happens During the Camp?

You’re never alone:

• Supportive guides help you find your rhythm

• Flexible groups by level

• Breaks and scenic stops

• Alternative routes if you need to take it easy one day

No stopwatch. Just shared experience.

What You'll Take Home

• Breathtaking memories from high above

• A huge smile in the descent

• Pride in doing something just for you

• New friends and fresh motivation
