No need to be a machine! All you need is a love for riding in nature. We adapt the routes and pace, with breaks, encouragement, and little challenges if you feel like pushing yourself.

What about accommodation and meals?
Everything’s taken care of: cozy accommodation, healthy local meals, and relaxing moments. We look after you from morning to night – you'll feel right at home… or even better!

What if I’m on my period during the trip?
No worries at all! The trip is designed to be accessible, with time for yourself, regular breaks, and gear that keeps your comfort in mind – like Wilma’s Bloody Queen® cycling pad.

We’ve got you covered with premium gravel bikes – both classic and electric – available for rent. Full mechanical and logistical support is included throughout the trip. 🎁 Special offer: Free bike rental for the first 6 riders to sign up! A promo code will be sent by email to the fastest ones.
