Thun
Cycling coach in Thun
Thun sits at the point where the Aare leaves its lake, with the Stockhorn and Niesen framing the view south and the Bernese Alps behind them. It is the practical gateway to the Oberland, which makes it the best base in German-speaking Switzerland for combining a lake session with mountain work on the same day.
The lake is deep, cold and reliably windy in the afternoon — excellent for sailing and paddleboarding, and the reason most water sessions here are scheduled for the morning.
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.
