The tour

Classic climbs,
ridden properly

Eight days through the legendary passes of the Alps — the roads made famous by the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France, ridden at a pace that leaves you able to enjoy the evening.

You will climb through jagged peaks and green alpine pasture, past the kind of scenery that makes people stop mid-climb to take a photograph. Six riding days, a van and mechanic alongside you throughout, and a group small enough that everyone knows everyone by the second morning.

Every detail is arranged in advance — hotels, transfers, food on the road, mechanical support — so the only thing you need to think about is the next climb.
