Any question answered...

Looking at doing a 7-9 day cycle holiday around September. Basically the idea is to achieve as much epic climbing as possible without breaking the bank.

There are cheap flights to Geneva around then. So that could be an idea.

Any suggestions thankfully recieved.

My suggestions would be:

1. Fly to Treviso or Venice and do the Dolomites. Plenty of climbing, and the Selle Ronda is an awesome ride. As is the Tre Cime.
   
2. Fly to Bilbao and do the Picos de Europa. The climb up to the Lago de Covadonga is a proper climb.
   
3. Fly to Geneva, head to France and do the big Alpine climbs. Might need to have more than one base during that time, but having spent 4 days in Morzine that was a pretty good starting point for a lot of rides in the Haut Savoie.
   
4. Fly to Geneva, do some big climbs in Switzerland - Nufnenpass, Grimselpass, Furka, Susten, San Gottardo. Andermatt makes a good base for these.
   
   

I've done all of the above, and they're all good.
