Triathlon training holidays

Triathlon training camps & triathlon holidays

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.

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

  • Flat road, river or park trails 5 mins from chalet. Routes possible from 1km – 30km in distance, great for either interval or endurance training.
  • Mountain trails for hill training from chalet door
  • Road with 2-6% downhill incline (for leg speed) from chalet door
  • Running machine up to 20km/h for practicing bike to run changes or for specific interval training

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

Triathlon Training Camps

We are delighted to announce that for 2012 we will be running Training Camps in partnership with Coach4Tri who have considerable experience in Coaching up to Master Coach level. Our Training Camps will cater for all levels of experience from beginner to expert and will focus on technique, training plans, nutrition and of course ‘on the ground’ training in all 3 disciplines. Above all they will be about having fun with like-minded people! 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 or get in touch directly with Mark at Coach4Tri where you can see more details of the Camps. The cost of a weeks Triathlon Training Camp in June is £599 including fully catered accommodation and all your Coaching for the week.

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.

Triathlon Training Holidays

We have had many Triathletes who have stayed with us to mix a training week with their main summer holiday. Because Chris is an active Triathlete we take great enjoyment helping plan training sessions, providing route advice and creating an ambiance that is beneficial to guests wanting an active break.

There is no need to sacrifice your main summer holiday because Samoens also makes for a great summer holiday destination in it’s own right. So if you wanted to holiday with a partner or your family we can also guarantee them an outstanding time too. Take a look at our main Summer Holiday page for more information or drop us an e-mail if you want more information on what is available in and around Samoens

Why not do a Triathlon event on your holiday?

The Annecy Triathlon takes place on Sunday 1st July 2012 and is an Olympic distance event with a high pedigree, this year will be the 25th running of the event.

One of Europe’s most spectacular Triathlons takes place every year on the last Sunday in August. Based at Lac Passey,  the Mont Blanc Triathlon is an Olympic distance event with few rivals. Don’t expect to set a Personal Best as the bike includes 440m 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, 2010 and 2011 results you’ll see your chalet host Chris in the Olympic distance race).
