UCI Gran Fondo Suisse: a 100% women’s weekend with Cycling Heidi
The UCI Gran Fondo Switzerland has renewed its collaboration with Cycling Heidi to offer a program exclusively for women.
In 2024, Lillie rode with a great group of women during the mediofondo. The result: laughter, high spirits, and two participants qualified for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in their category! Just goes to show that, with a little support, we women can go even further than we think!
For 2025, we’re thinking even bigger: an entire weekend of 100% women’s activities, of course in Cycling Heidi style!
On the program:
Location
Villars-sur-Ollon
Dates
27 – 29 juin 2025
Price
Free to 195 CHF
Skill Clinic the day before the GFS
Braking correctly, taking the right line, feeling more comfortable going downhill or in a peloton… we learn, we practice, we laugh! All in a non-judgmental ambiance. Skill clinics are Cycling Heidi’s specialty, and all female GFS participants are welcome!
The workshop will take place on Friday June 28 at 1.30pm in Villars. This activity is free, but places are limited. To register, fill in the form at the bottom of this page.
Women’s group for the mediofondo distance
On June 29th, Lillie will be waiting at the start line to ride all or part of the mediofondo (106km and 2600m ascent) with you. There’s no performance objective, just mutual support, advice and good humor to help tackle the challenge together. Guaranteed mansplaining-free! And who knows… maybe you’ll even qualify for the world championships 😉
Once again, participation is free for those who have already registered for the UCI Gran Fondo Suisse. To sign up, fill in the form at the bottom of this page.
