The experience with Alpine Cols was excellent. I have done several cycling camps, and I must say this one was close to perfection. - Stephanie, Paris

CRANK UP THE POWER Take the guesswork out of your cycling Hire a power meter from our Test Centre and find out why all the pros are now using them. You ll learn to target your training zones, experience fewer (if any) cramps and improve performance over multiple climbs. Ideal for the Haute Route Riding at the right intensity for the right period of time is critical both in racing and in training. Only a power meter gives you the data to do this accurately. Using the meter to dynamically adjust your power output over seven days and 900km will help you perform at your best. Olivier with Sergio Haute Route 2014 ALPINE COLS HAUTE ROUTE P.13

Training is going very well. Olivier is really a great coach! I have made massive improvements since I started. Frankie, June 2014 Olivier was excellent. He is clearly very competent and was great company. He was great for my confidence and gave me lots of practical tips for the Haute Route. Richard, August 2014 ALPINE COLS HAUTE ROUTE P.14
