Founding Season 2026: Four Camps, Forty-Eight Places

This summer, something new opens in the Rhodope Mountains. VELOVIA — a boutique cycling camp built around three ideas: ride, perform, belong — welcomes its first riders on 29 July 2026.

Set in the heart of the Rhodope Mountains — often called the Mountains of Orpheus — the camp combines quiet roads, authentic mountain hospitality and a cycling experience built around small groups and personal attention.

The Founding Season counts four camps between July and September: Rhodope Explorer, High Summer Epic, Autumn Rhodope and Autumn Legend. Each is limited to twelve riders, with four nights in a private mountain villa, three guided riding days totalling 299 km and 6,088 m of climbing, a private chef and a daily recovery massage, sauna and outdoor jacuzzi.

As a founding-season rider you join at Founder's Edition pricing — €999 instead of the regular €1,490 — and you become part of the first chapter of the VELOVIA story.

Applications are open now. We personally answer every application within 24 hours.
