The story
Las Ciclistas is a 100% women’s cycling journey through Graubünden, organised by Lillie Rumpf (Cycling Heidi). The format combines 5 days of guided bikepacking through the most beautiful alpine passes (Oberalp, Splügen, Maloja, Albula, Bernina) with the big Las Ciclistas festival in Celerina, the friendly highlight of the week.
The adventure is experienced in a small group: only about fifteen women for the 5 days of bikepacking, open to enthusiasts of all levels. An atmosphere of mutual support, sharing and sisterhood, with hotels and meals together every evening. The Las Ciclistas Bike Festival on day 4 brings together hundreds of cyclists in a festive parade in Celerina.
