Remove the "Grind" from Gravel
A LUXURY GRAVEL VACATION
Girona is widely regarded as one of the best cycling holiday destinations in the world, and for good reason. We are proud to call this charming corner of Catalonia home, and love nothing more than welcoming riders from far and wide to indulge in a slice of cycling paradise.
But what makes it so special? Inevitably perhaps, the answer revolves around its history, geography, culture and climate, uniquely combining to create the perfect playground for cyclists. With inspiring (and incredibly varied) routes in all directions, and a spectacular old town to explore each evening, it's no wonder Girona is buzzing with professional and amateur cyclists alike. A booming specialty coffee scene, world- class restaurants and year-round sunshine only sweetens the deal. Our signature trip formats have been curated to showcase the very best of Girona, allowing you to take full advantage of our unrivaled local expertise and experience in the process. Whether you're on tarmac or gravel, we'll guide you through our favorite rides, mixing legendary loops with hidden gems; a ride to remember, day after day. Superb 4 Star accommodations in the heart of the old town, delicious daily breakfasts, post-ride coffee & cake and sports massage are all taken care of, and with the optional extras of airport transfers, beautiful rental bikes and more, trip planning and logistics feel like a walk in the park. Alternatively, if you prefer a private trip experience and/or have particular dates or special requirements in mind, we'd be delighted to design a custom trip for you. Or, if it's as simple as a single or multi-day private guided ride, a beautiful rental bike for a few days, or something else entirely, we can help with that too. With a guide ratio of 1:4 , we can assure your trip is handcrafted for your cycling abilities. Your trip, once you arrive in Lyon, is all inclusive, leaving your only concern to assure your body is attuned for the amazing week ahead. You will experience infamous routes, epic climbs, and truly breathtaking views. To that end we have a training plan already set for you and will guide you every step of the way. |
