On Your Bike – Enjoy the First of the Sunshine With a Spring Cycling Holiday

Eurocamp

Cyclists can sample some seriously fresh air as they try out their skills on an Alpine Eurocamp holiday.

Spring is the perfect time for travellers to enjoy scenic views from the saddle, with May temperatures reaching a high of 20°C, making it ideal for a day out on two wheels.

Choose from a range of stunning French parcs, including the popular Camping Les Fontaines, La Ferme de la Serraz and Le Belledonne in the popular resort of Annecy.

Holidaymakers can travel light and take advantage of Eurocamp's cycle hire at all three parcs. Hire  bikes from just €12/day for children and €18/day for adults.

Positioned on the edge of Lake Annecy, Camping Les Fontaines offers a variety of flat and hilly routes, perfect for both novices and experts. The Col des Leschaux route is the perfect introductory Alps climb and offers stunning views of the lake. Stay here for just £34 per night, per party arriving 12th May*.

Close by, La Ferme de la Serraz is within easy reach of Italy and Switzerland, so braver cyclists can venture a little further. Why not take on the legendary Col de la Forclaz which recently featured for the 4th time in this year's Tour de France. For those who don't fancy tackling the route, how about spectating next year's Tour de France followed by a visit to the pretty village of Doussard. The streets are lined with chic shops and restaurants making it the perfect place to relax, especially after a long day's ride – stay here for just £32 per night, per party arriving 8th May*.

Le Belledonne offers travellers a chance to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of National Park Les Ecrins. With rushing rivers and tumbling waterfalls aplenty, the cycling routes nearby will be a prime opportunity to see the sites close up. Ride up the iconic hair pin bends of the Alpe d'Huez pass to the summit of Pic Blanc for beautiful mountain vistas. Book now and secure a week's stay here for just £308* per party, arriving 20th May.
