BikeRadar’s Oli Woodman recently headed out to Morzine, France where he experienced a week-long stay with sports activity holiday providers Alpine Elements. Having previously visited Morzine for a riding holiday on a shoestring budget, he was blown away with the trip and can't believe he didn't choose to go the package route sooner.
With that in mind, here are eight reasons why your next riding holiday should be a package trip.
You know the scenario: there’s an organised one in your group, the one who pulls the cash kitty together and holds everyone’s bank details. Book a package holiday and you’ll no longer need that person. Seriously though, from the moment your airport shuttle arrives to the moment it drops you back at the airport, everything will have been arranged.

You won’t have to meet Pierre to pickup the keys from the chalet at 3am, you won’t even have to wire money to him at an early date and you can spare the embarrassment of your ignorance of the French language. One of the greatest things about a package holiday is you get to place that stress in someone else’s hands.
A lot of people think a package trip means you don't have the option of taking your own bike, but that's often not the case. In fact taking your own bike is a great way to save money and let's face it – there's nowhere more comfortable than being above your own saddle. Be sure to bring plenty of spares and pay particular attention to parts that aren't going to be readily available where you're visiting.
A lot of people panic when it the thought of transporting their own bike but it doesn’t have to be the nightmare you envision it to be though, and neither should it cost you a bomb.
