VELOVIA
A smooth, empty mountain road built for rhythm in the Rhodope Mountains

Founding Season 2026 · 29 July – 20 September 2026

RIDE THE PINK ROADS.

Five days. Twelve riders. Roads that most cyclists will never find.

The Rhodope Mountains are one of Europe's last untouched cycling destinations. Long climbs on smooth, empty asphalt. No crowds. No traffic. No compromise. Premium accommodation, a resident chef, daily recovery massage and a sauna after every ride. This is not a standard training camp. This is VELOVIA.

Camps 2026

FOUR CAMPS. FOUR ADVENTURES.

Every camp is a complete experience — from the first climb to the last dinner. Small group. Personal attention.

This is not mass tourism. It is a cycling experience built around riding, recovery and the people you meet.

Why Velovia

RIDE DEEPER. CLIMB HIGHER. EXPERIENCE MORE.

Long climbs. Fast descents. Quiet roads. Premium comfort. Far from crowded cycling destinations, you'll discover a place where riding still feels authentic. No traffic. No rush. Just mountains, rhythm and riders who share the same passion.

Twelve Riders. No More.

A small group means personal attention — from the guide, private chef and the massage therapist.

Full Road Support

Professional guide, support van and mechanic on every single ride.

Recovery-First

Daily recovery massage and a sauna after every ride. Recovery is the second half of the experience.

Genuinely All-Inclusive

Villa, chef, massages, support, kit, photos, insurance. One price, nothing hidden.

The Experience

MORE THAN A CAMP. IT'S A LIFESTYLE.

Your day starts with a sports breakfast, a route briefing and the excitement of another great ride ahead. Then come the roads. Long climbs. Endless forest sections. Fast descents. Quiet mountain passes. After the ride, the experience continues with recovery, great food and conversations that often last late into the evening.

The villa at dusk — where the ride continues

THIS IS WHERE THE RIDE CONTINUES.

Large panoramic windows. Mountain views. Absolute silence. After the ride: the chef is in the kitchen, the sauna is ready, the outdoor jacuzzi is warm, and the evening is just beginning.

The Villa
Chef-prepared meal with local Rhodope ingredients

THE CHEF IS PART OF THE PROGRAMME. NOT AN OPTION.

Three meals a day, prepared fresh with local Rhodope ingredients. Sports breakfast before the ride. Recovery nutrition after. A dinner around a shared table.

RECOVERY. EVERY RIDER. EVERY DAY.

Most cycling camps focus on the ride. VELOVIA focuses on the recovery too. Daily recovery massage, sauna and outdoor jacuzzi after every ride. Because 80–100 kilometres in the mountains asks everything from your body. This is what premium means.

Massage & Recovery
Smooth empty mountain road built for rhythm

ROADS BUILT FOR RHYTHM.

Smooth asphalt. Empty passes. The roads cyclists travel across Europe to find. Long, uninterrupted climbs with minimal traffic — every route handpicked for the feeling of being completely present on the bike.
