Mountain Bike Camp in St-Cergue

Mountain biking every morning, Monday to Friday, on the trails around St-Cergue. Riders are taken at the level they arrive at, and the terrain of the Jura — forest tracks and rolling ridges rather than alpine descents — suits that.

The weekly price covers accommodation, full board, the morning riding sessions, three afternoon excursions a week, the other sports and the evening programme, round-the-clock supervision and the registration fee. Room upgrades, accompanied train travel and the airport transfer are booked separately.

Participants stay at the Domaine du Monteret in St-Cergue, the same site as Filolo’s language and other sports camps. A place in a shared 10-bed room is included; 5-bed and 2-bed rooms are available as paid upgrades.

Full board is prepared by the camp’s own kitchen team. Special diets are catered for when the kitchen is told in advance.

Mornings on the bike. Afternoons bring three excursions a week and a rotation of other sports, and the evenings a leisure programme shared with the language and other sports camps on the site, so groups are mixed by country and by language.

The camp occupies a private complex in the Jura Vaudois Nature Park at about 1000 metres, with its own football and basketball grounds, table tennis and campfire areas, and its own kitchen. Trails start from the door. Geneva airport is around 35 minutes by car.

St-Cergue is a mountain village of about three thousand people on the Jura plateau, looking across Lake Geneva to Mont Blanc. The camp runs in the autumn half-term, over the spring holidays and through the summer. A week runs from Sunday arrival to Saturday departure.
