Planning your cycling trip

2. Choosing when to book:

Haute-Savoie in Summer

Summer in Haute-Savoie, especially in August, is a cyclist's paradise. The weather is perfect, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 35 degrees Celsius. The clear skies and warm sun create an ideal setting for cyclists tackling the challenging yet beautifully scenic mountainous terrain; also perfect to enjoy the alpine lake like Annecy or Aix-les-Bains. I like to climb to higher altitudes at this time of year, above 1500m, to take advantage of the cooler temperatures.
