Annecy is ideally situated between the lake and the mountains and is a

magical place for cyclists. Whether you come to simply discover this

beautiful region or for physical training and preparation, we can

suggest a multitude of routes for you, such as touring the Semnoz or

crossing the Aravis.

Our youth hostel is here to make your stay here as enjoyable and as easy

as possible with:

* A large car park reserved for our guests

* Secure storage facilities to leave your bicycles

* A 24 hour staff presence with a reception desk open from 7.00am to

11.00pm and a night watchman from 11.00pm to 7.00am

* A hearty breakfast designed to give you the best start to the day

* Energizing, tasty and wholesome meals prepared by our chef

* Shared rooms for 4-5 people with a shower

Every season has its advantages to help you train, for example winter

can help you prepare yourself for the coming season (see brochure

Biking & Climbing in the Alps

The summer is very much here. For those who haven't quite managed to book a holiday yet fear not! There are still places available at the hostel and also in the self-catered chalets.

The lifts start rolling in 4 days time meaning the season has officially started. Ryanair offer flights to Turin or Grenoble for peanuts these days but why not spend the extra and arrive by the train no queuing or carbon footprint and far less stress. Once you get here you can look forward to queue free mountain biking starting at 8am until the last funicular at 7.30pm. The cols are all open now so road-cyclists are free to roam wherever they choose - trip over to Italy is a must.

This year we have teamed up with JamCam to offer the best quality headcam rental so you cannot forget how good it was. Why not have a morning parapenting with the cam for some top notch aerial shots?

With prices from £35 a night half board or £90 per week self-catered you would be hard pressed to find a better deal this summer!

Here's what was said about us last year: (as 'chillchalet' we are now hotmarmot.com and can sleep up to 16 in the bigger better hostel!)

"LES ARCS
My favourite of the two places, great downhill course deviod of the usual braking bumps you find in Morzine. More importantly, fantastic natural technical singletrack serviced by a comprehensive lift network.

We stopped in a catered chalet in Bourg Saint Mourice called ChillChalet. Clean spacious digs sleeping up to 12, secure bike storage, great food and really convenient for the furnicular up the mountian to Arc 1600. Highly recommended, we will be back next year.

We also hired a guide for two days, this was the best 160 Euros we've ever spent. Fantastic bike rider who showed us some stuff we would never have found in months of searching. Getting a guide is an absolute must if you want to make the most from your trip. He also runs a fleet of buses and can transfer you to and from a number of airports including Geneva. We didn't use this service as we had driven down from Verbier, but it's worth considering if you're there all week." - Stuart Nesham on BikeMagic
