The flat route to the west is ideal for intervals and preparation for long distances.
Foothills, smooth tarmac, a loop with views of the snowcaps — a classic of spring training.
A reliable mountain baseline from the Strava archive: steady climbing, controlled tempo and a finish by the rink.
For riders who like long gradients: Medeu, then higher into the mountains, with plenty of vertical.
Short repeats and power work: good for climbing technique, cadence and heart-rate control.
Fast flat work to the north-west: easy to hold formation, rotation and intervals.
Rolling training without huge distance: a solid Sport-group ride for strength endurance.
A green mountain link with dense climbing: scenic, technical and clearly harder than the flats.
A long eastern route: steady group work, climbs near the valley and a proper endurance day.
A big day on the bike: long distance, steady pace and long turns in the group.
A hard Strava mountain link for strong groups: long, high and loaded with climbing.
