Location

Leysin, overlooking the Rhone Valley in Switzerland, is a legendary training base used by World and Olympic champions like Chrissie Wellington and Nicola Spirig. Its altitude, quiet roads, clear lakes and endless trails provide the perfect environment to sharpen race-specific fitness. Our camps use the same terrain and structure that have produced multiple world champions, giving you a focused, high-performance summer block in the heart of the Alps.

We have access to:

• 25 m indoor pool, private camp use
• Great cycling routes from the door
• Strength-building road and trail runs
• 400m running track in the valley
• Inspiring views
• Fully-equipped gym with weights & treadmills (add-on)

Accommodation

• Shared Apartment Option
  Athletes choosing the accommodation package stay in a shared apartment in Leysin, with a private single room in a 2 or 3-bedroom apartment. Each apartment includes a shared living area and kitchen, giving you the freedom to recover, prepare your own meals and settle into the rhythm of the week.

• Coaching-Only Option
  If you prefer to organise your own stay, you can join on a coaching-only basis. In this case, you pay only the camp coaching fee and book your own accommodation separately. There are plenty of booking.com, AirBnB and agency options to suit most requirements. If you are traveling with family, we strongly suggest this option.

FAQs

Do I need a TT bike?

No — a well-maintained road bike is perfect. If bringing your TT bike, make sure you are comfortable handling it on winding roads.

Can I hire a bike?

Please contact us for options and availability.

Are airport transfers included?

No — transfers to Leysin are not provided. We recommend hiring a car or taking the train to Aigle, then Leysin. We can provide information if required, drop us a note!

Can I stay longer?

Yes — please book your preferred week and add as many extra nights as you need using the dedicated product page. Our team will be in touch to confirm dates and details. Note that coaching is available only during the official camp windows (11-13 June, 11-18 July, 8-15 August). Outside of these dates, only morning swim sessions will be available.

How do meals work ?

Meals are not included aside from the organised team BBQ. You are free to eat at local restaurants at your own cost or cook your own food. There are several supermarkets in Leysin.

Do you have a bike mechanic?

Please ensure your bike is in perfect working order before you arrive (clean, functional brakes, charged electronic shifting) and bring a puncture repair kit. We have a pump and tools.

We will provide basic maintenance should something come up during the week. There is also a bike shop within 30’ drive. If this becomes necessary we will try to assist, although note that we may not be able to provide shuttles at all times.

Do I need to bring a wetsuit?

No, the pool is indoors and heated!
