Triathlon training holidays

Triathlon training holidays and triathlon training camps

For a Triathlon Training holiday in the French Alps it is rare to find such a great mix of Triathlon training terrain in such a close environment.

Here’s a quick summary to prove it’s not a claim without substance:

Swimming

  • 25m outdoor pool 5 mins from the chalet
  • 400m open-water lake 15 mins from the chalet
  • 1km open-water lake 35 mins from chalet (wet-suit needed)

Cycling

  • Tour de France cols from the chalet door
  • Flat valley with choice of flat time-trial roads 2 mins from chalet
  • Turbo-trainer (on the balcony…the best view you’ll ever get from a static!)

Running

  • Mountain trails for hill training from chalet door
  • Road with downhill incline (for leg speed) from chalet door
  • Flat road, river or park trails 5 mins from chalet

And all of this is available within close proximity to Chalet Falcon and Samoens.

We have had many Triathletes who have stayed with us to mix a training week with a summer holiday. Because Chris is an active Triathlete we take great enjoyment hosting training sessions, providing helpful route advice and creating an ambiance that is beneficial to guests wanting an active break. Please do drop us an e-mail if you want more information on training opportunities in and around Samoens

In addition there is a library of Tri-mags and some training DVD’s to relax with. Our food is not just enjoyable but nutritionally balanced, so we’ll make sure you are fully fuelled up for your days training but not going back 5lbs heavier than when you arrived!

Finally, we have indoor, secure bike storage for those expensive steeds too.

Why not do a Triathlon on your holiday?

One of Europe’s most spectacular Triathlons takes place every year on the last Sunday in August. Based at Lac Passey, which sits directly underneath Mont Blanc, it is an Olympic distance event with few rivals. Don’t expect to set a Personal Best as the bike includes 600m of ascent, but for a never-to-forget experience it’s hard to beat. Competition is keen as most participants are club members but there’s also a Sprint distance for those who might find the main event a bit daunting. (If you look closely at the 2009 results you’ll see your chalet host in there).

Triathlon Training Camps

We will be running some more structured Triathlon Training Camps in June & July 2011 with a qualified Triathlon Coach so guests can train & socilaise with like-minded individuals. If you are a larger group or a Triathlon club we would be happy to discuss the options of organising a specific week around your needs. If you are an individual wanting to register your interest then please contact us for further details.

    A superb base for Tri training with the backdrop of Tour de France cycle climbs. Superb service from our hosts as well!
