About AlpRide
Why Women Choose AlpRide for Cycling Holidays
AlpRide is a specialist cycling tour operator created to give active women a holiday designed entirely around them. We combine guided cycling, wellness and small-group travel in the French Alps — a setting chosen for its variety of routes, its hospitality, and its quiet roads.
Our guests value a calmer, more considered alternative to mixed-group tours: experienced female guides, carefully planned itineraries, and a group culture built on encouragement rather than competition.

The AlpRide Community
You'll arrive as strangers. You'll leave as a tribe.
Many of our guests travel on their own and quickly discover how much easier connection becomes when a group shares the same road, the same effort and the same view from the top. Days are spent riding together; evenings are spent over local food, slow conversation and the kind of friendships that continue long after the trip ends.
"I booked alone and worried about fitting in. I left with a group of women I now plan trips with every year."
