Choose how many days to take off work, what type and style of accommodation you want and then leave the rest up to Haut Velo!
By only taking one and a half days off work, you will get three full days of world class Swiss cycling.
All of our packages are customisable but at a minimum include:

We ride so we can eat… We love good food and cycling allows us to eat more than most people… especially cake! Food, nutrition and hydration are a critical part of any sport, particularly cycling.
All of our chefs use fresh, local and seasonal produce to create wholesome, nutritional, energy giving and tasty food, none of which will not be in short supply! We provide an international menu which includes the best of Swiss cuisine, all prepared whilst you are out exploring.
Our catered package options include:
- Bed & Breakfast – With cycling snacks and packed lunch options available
- Half board – Breakfast and evening meals included. With cycling snacks and packed lunch options available
- Fully catered – Breakfast, cycling snacks, packed lunch/picnic, post ride snack and evening meal included

Lunch – Depending on the day’s itinerary and your preferences, lunchtimes can be catered by means of packed lunches or picnics.
Cycling snacks – We can also supply your cycling snacks, plenty enough to keep you going but not too much to slow you down!
Post-ride nibbles – To keep moral up on the longer rides, it’s always important to remember that, on your return to the chalet, a delicious homemade cake or local assiette with fresh bread will be waiting for you, accompanied by a “suitable” drink!
Evening meals – Our customised approach to your holiday allows you to choose from eating a hearty, nutritious and filling two course meal through to a sumptuous and fine dining experience prepared by Michelin starred experienced chefs.
NOTE – All dietary requests can be catered for if we are informed at the point of enquiry.
If you fancy a little bit more peace and quiet without having people working round you or you would prefer to eat out, we can supply you with a number of self-catered chalets and modern apartments in fantastic locations.
