Bellinzona
Cycling coach in Bellinzona
Bellinzona sits at the point where the Alpine valleys funnel into the Ticino plain, which is why three castles were built here and why every north–south route still passes through. The valley floor is flat and the mountains start immediately on both sides, giving you both surfaces within minutes.
It is less visited than Lugano and Locarno and consequently easier to book, with the same southern climate. Our coaches here work in Italian, and most in German or English as well.
This is climbing country, so that is what we coach
Everything here goes up. The vineyard roads of La Côte, the Jura passes, the Alpine cols within an hour of the lake — which means most sessions end up being about climbing well rather than riding fast on the flat. Cadence, pacing a long ascent, when to stand, and how to arrive at the top with something left.
Position and equipment
A session often starts with twenty minutes on your position, because most amateur riders are fighting their bike rather than riding it. Bring your own bike — coaching on an unfamiliar one wastes half the value. Your coach brings nothing you need except judgement.

Common questions
How fit do I need to be?
Your coach rides at your pace. A session is not a group ride with someone stronger than you, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.
Can you help me prepare for a sportive?
Yes, and it is a common reason people book. Tell us the event and the date and the session gets built backwards from it.
What if the weather is bad?
Light rain, we ride. Ice, storms or genuinely dangerous conditions, your coach contacts you and we move the session at no cost.
