BEFORE YOU BOOK

A few good
questions.

Can I come on my own?

Yes. Choose a shared twin room and we can pair you with another guest, in separate beds. You don't need to book a private room simply because you are travelling alone.

How fit do I need to be?

This is a road cycling camp with climbing. As a guide, aim to be comfortable riding 50 km with some hills. Tell us about your current riding and we’ll discuss the route options with you. Two guides and a support driver help adapt each day; vehicle-assisted sections are coordinated with the group.

What changes between the two editions?

The shared programme is the same. May is hosted at Casa Pedal & Pause with up to eight guests, home cooking and one restaurant dinner. October uses Bellver Hotel with up to ten guests. Room arrangements and prices differ.

Are airport transfers and lunches included?

No. Flights, airport transfers, lunches, bike rental and travel insurance are separate. Ride snacks and hydration are included. We can discuss arrival arrangements with you before you book.

Can I bring or rent a bike?

Either. Bring a serviced road bike or request one of our premium carbon rental bikes with electronic shifting. Rentals, including Specialized and Cube models, are priced separately and subject to size and availability.

What if I already have a coach?

Keep working with your coach. The preparation plan is included, but you can discuss how to fit the camp into your existing training. Technique sessions and local riding support are available throughout the week.

When is my place confirmed?

A form submission is a booking request. We confirm availability, your total price, payment schedule and cancellation conditions before you pay. Your place is confirmed after your payment has been verified.

Can I request a private room?

At Bellver, the supplement is €360 for six nights, subject to availability. At Casa, private occupancy reduces the camp's capacity and is quoted individually. Select your preference and we’ll confirm the options.
