Our Stay
During this Maats trip, we are welcome to stay at Hotel Saint Roch in Puy-Saint-Vincent. This mountain hotel is managed by Maats friends Anne Pekelharing and Simon Rosmolen, who share a passion for creating unforgettable experiences. Anne, the talented chef, is the creative force behind the delicious dishes that emerge from the kitchen, while Simon takes charge as the activation manager, organizing incredible outdoor activities for the hotel's guests.
In winter, the hotel welcomes snow enthusiasts, while in summer, it transforms into a haven for cyclists and hikers. Designed with cycling groups in mind, Hotel Saint Roch offers everything you could need for the perfect trip—comfort, convenience, and a family welcoming atmosphere.
The Rides
The trip includes four organized day rides, carefully curated by Simon, who knows the area like the back of his hand from years of cycling its breathtaking roads. These routes are a mix of iconic climbs and hidden gems, offering a perfect balance between well-known cols and quieter, lesser-traveled ascents.
Each ride features options for both a longer and shorter distance, ensuring there's something for everyone, regardless of fitness level or preference. Over the coming months, Simon will finalize the route plan. In the meantime, to give you an idea of what to expect, we've compiled the routes from 2023 and 2024 into a Komoot Collection.
