Flims, Switzerland

Retreat

September 21-27, 2025

$4250 per person, shared occupancy

An experience unlike anything we’ve done before.

Join us for a seven-day, six-night retreat in the breathtaking Glarus Alps of Switzerland! Ride high alpine trails in one of the most breathtaking European mountain bike destinations with Ladies AllRide coaches and local guides! This retreat is all about riding amazing trails, refining skills, exploring the culture and enjoying the local cuisine. 

Our retreats are designed for intermediate to advanced riders. It’s a bonus if you have attended a Ladies AllRide camp or have had other professional mountain bike instruction. Retreats are focused on riding local trails with daily rides ranging from 16-24 miles and 1600-1800 ft of climbing. This retreat will include a mix of lift assisted trails and good ol’ uphill pedaling with no lifts.

We will be staying in the town of Flims at the Flem Mountain Lodge, a women-owned mountain bike lodge operated by sisters Anita and Caro Gehrig. Your room will be shared with 1-2 other riders and include full or queen beds. If you are ready to melt into the Swiss Alps for the week, ride world class trails, improve your riding, eat fresh local meals and enjoy the quiet serenity of Flims, this retreat is for you. We are excited to share this experience with you!

Flem Mountain Lodge is located about 2 hours from the Zurich International Airport.
