The Classic Climbs Tour
our classic climbs tour
New for 2020, the Classic Climbs of the Sierra Nevada tour offers cyclists the opportunity to experience all of the hardest cycling climbs and the most breathtaking views southern Spain has to offer, all in one epic week long Cycling Holiday.
AN IDEAL LOCATION
Based in the quaint town of Velez de Benaudalla, situated between the mountains of the Sierra Nevada and the Costa Tropical, we are blessed with 320 sunny days a year, making it the ideal base for your assault on the high mountains, at a time when most other destinations in Spain, France and Italy are covered in snow and unrideable.
The Sierra Nevada mountains boast some of the toughest climbs in Spain, attracting many of the world’s best professional riders, like Peter Sagan, who come to test themselves in preparation for the biggest races in the world. It is therefore the perfect location for those amongst us who thrive when the road points skywards, for those of us whom a relaxing week in Majorca just doesn’t cut it.
Whilst a reasonable level of fitness is required due to the inherent difficulty of the climbs, our aim is always to make our tours accessible to a wide range of riders.
The Classic Climbs of the Sierra Nevada provides you with the opportunity to pit yourself against the hardest, longest and downright toughest climbs around – if that all sounds rather grim, don’t worry your hard work and sweat will be rewarded with some truly stunning views, perfectly smooth roads and a sense of achievement perhaps unmatched by any of our other offerings.
