DISCOVER THE GRAND COLS

in your personalised group cycling tour

Conquer the Grand Cols – the challenging and mythical climbs you know from the major cycling races – with your cycling friends. Ride Where The Pros Ride! There is nothing better than enjoying and enduring together in a stage tour through a beautiful mountain environment.

Do you, like us, have a passion for cycling in the high mountains and are you looking for a next-level challenge that suits you? We organise personalised full-service group cycling tours for cyclists like you!

Are you alone or with a small group? Then sign up for one of our join-in tours. If you are looking for a balanced stage tour for a larger group, choose one of our prepared tours and schedule the period with us. Of course, we will personalise the tour to your wishes. One col less or more? A rest day? More luxurious hotels? We arrange it! Is your ideal destination not on our website? No problem! Challenge us to organize a custom tour for you and your cycling friends. You decide where we go, which Grand Cols we climb, how tough the routes are and what kind of hotels we visit. We organise the cycling tour that fully meets the wishes of your group, at an acceptable price

‘If you are a friend of the mountain, the mountain becomes a friend of yours. At the foot of a mountain I always say: “Gosh, what a beautiful mountain you are.’

Bram Tankink, Dagblad Metro, 2006

NEWS

"Why always those stupid holidays?"

In the first week of july 2024 we made the newspapers with our “stupid cycling holidays’. Why do cyclists always want those stupid holidays? This is what a colleague of Maaike van der Plas, columnist in a group of newspapers in the west of the Netherlands and participant in our 4 Ländergiro 2024, wondered. But “the question why is answerd again and again.” And in the end only one question remains: “What will our destination be next year?”

Give Google Translage a spin an read Maaike’s beautiful column.
