Cycling holidays in the Canary Islands
Gran Canaria and Lanzarote in winter: ride in mild weather while it is cold at home, with Italian staff, guides and support van.
Winter, in short sleeves. You can ride in the Canaries all year round: in winter temperatures are mild and the days are long enough for rides of several hours. That is why many pros come here to prepare for the season.
Two islands, two ways to ride. Gran Canaria has long climbs inland and descents to the sea. Lanzarote has roads between lava fields and volcanoes, gentler and often windy.
A group for every level. Every morning you choose the group and pace that suit you, e-bikes included, with Bike Division guides and the support van. You can come on your own.
Before you go
How do I book a trip?
Fill in the quote request on the trip page, or message or call us: within 24 working hours we send you the full proposal. To confirm your place you pay a deposit, usually 30% of the price, together with the full cost of flights and cancellation insurance, if you chose them. The balance is due by the date in your travel contract, normally one month before departure.
What does the price include? Is the flight included?
The price covers everything you find in the trip programme. Every holiday always includes:
- accommodation
- Bike Division Tour Leader and guides
- daily bike tours with support van and refreshments (snacks, drinks and fruit)
- mechanic and Italian staff always with you
- daily laundry for your cycling kit
- personalised Bike Division jersey
- basic medical and baggage insurance
Meal plan, airport transfer and a Tour Leader for non-riders vary from trip to trip. The flight is usually not included, so you can leave from wherever and whenever you like: book it yourself or let us do it.
How fit do I need to be?
Each trip shows the distance and climbing of the routes, so you can see straight away if it suits you. On some trips you can choose between two groups every morning, and you can almost always ride an e-bike too. If in doubt, tell us how you ride: we will advise you.
I'm travelling alone: will I find company?
Yes, and sooner than you think: we ride as a group and spend the days together. If you want a room to yourself you can ask for a single, with a supplement; otherwise we find you a roommate. Many friendships among our riders started this way.
Can I bring someone who doesn't ride?
Of course. On many trips non-riders have their own programme, with a dedicated Tour Leader: the trip page tells you if it is available.
