Team from Ski Solutions Set for Charity Cycle Ride

11th August 2024

The group is heading to Val d’Isere in France raising money for the Snow Sports Foundation.

The London to Val d’Isère bike ride team will pedal off from the Ski Solutions office  in London on Friday 23 August, heading down to the ferry at Newhaven.

Crossing over to Dieppe and skirting north-east of Paris, they will then head south-east towards the Swiss border and Lake Annecy.

The team will pick up the Route des Grandes Alpes, riding from the Beaufortain range into the Tarentaise valley.

On the final day, they face two climbs up to Val d’Isère.

This challenge averages an impressive 130km per day, climbing a total of 9,000m over the week.

The team aims to raise £5,000 and has so far been pledges £1,403 – that’s 28% towards its target.
