2026 – 2027 departures
Every tour is fully serviced and hotel-to-hotel — guided or self-guided, with your luggage moved each morning and a support vehicle on the road. Pick a route, then read the day-by-day before you book.
Eight days from Füssen in Germany over the Alps to Lake Garda — gravel roads, forest paths and old military routes through four countries.
From Pisa to the Maremma coast across Tuscany — the white gravel roads of Chianti, hilltop towns and Brunello wine country, almost entirely off tarmac.
The full length of the Pyrenees from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean — San Sebastián to Sant Pere Pescador, eight stages and 780 km, mostly unpaved. Our longest and most demanding tour.
A full Highland traverse from Fort William on the Atlantic to Montrose on the North Sea — military roads, estate tracks and empty moorland on some of Europe's emptiest gravel.
East to west across southern Portugal on quiet gravel — the Via Algarviana through cork-oak forest and the Serra de Monchique, finishing at Cabo de São Vicente.
Across the Western Cape — Cape Winelands, the Klein Karoo and the Overberg — over the Victorian-era Swartberg Pass and back to Franschhoek, on up to 84% gravel.
East to west across Cyprus — limestone hills and monastery roads up into the cedar forests of the Troodos above 1,800 m, then down through the Akamas to Paphos.
No tour matches that combination yet.
Guided or self-guided? Every tour can be ridden either way. On a guided tour an experienced guide leads a small group of up to ten riders and handles the navigation. Self-guided, you get the full GPS route for Garmin, Wahoo or Komoot and ride at your own pace. The hotels, the luggage transfer and the support vehicle are identical. Here is an honest comparison of the two.
Two levels. Adventure suits riders who are comfortable with 55–85 km days and moderate climbing. Explorer means 70–100 km, steeper terrain and rougher surfaces. Most tours offer both routes, so you can choose day by day; the Trans Pyrenees is Explorer only. See both levels in detail.
When to go. Trans Cyprus opens the season in April. Tuscany runs in June and September, the Scottish Highlands in June and July, and the Trans Alp from June to August. The Trans Pyrenees and the Trans Algarve are autumn tours, and South Africa runs from November to March, in the southern summer. The filters above show the exact dates.
What is included. Hand-picked hotels with breakfast and several dinners, daily luggage transfer between hotels, a support vehicle on the road, GPS routes and, if you ride guided, your guide. Flights, lunches, drinks and travel insurance are not included. Each tour page lists exactly what is covered.
