With you for the ride.
Sportive Breaks launched in 2015 with the innovative idea to collate all the best hotels for cyclists centred around European Sportives and Gran Fondos.
Not long after, we launched the ‘perfect long weekend’ – Weekenders – for cyclists with a range of four-night trips in four iconic destinations synonymous with cycling: Alpe d’Huez, Mont Ventoux, Mallorca and the Dolomites. The trips, dubbed ‘The Perfect Long Weekend’, follow the same formula, with intrepid riders arriving on Wednesday and going on to enjoy four days in the saddle, taking in a combination of classic cols and local favourites. Check out our Tours and Weekenders trips.
Sportive Breaks also offer the biggest selection of European Gran Fondo and Cyclo-Sportive events. From the 5 Monuments (Milan Sanremo, Lombardia, Paris Roubaix Challenge, Liege Bastogne Liege Challenge and the Tour of Flanders) to the Biggesr summer cycling events (Marmotte, UCI Gran Fondo World Championships, Etape du Tour and Mallorca 312) and many more. Check out all our Sportive and Gran Fondo trips.
The Sportive Breaks Cycling Hospitality and VIP Experiences programme includes many if the big races on the Pro calendar such as the Giro d’Italia, Tour of Flanders, Tour of Britain and many more. Check out our VIP and Hospitality programme.

Firstly, would like to thank you and the whole Destination Sports team for a brilliant experience.
The organization, material and guidance provided was excellent , having had experience of other companies I would certainly recommend you again!
Everyone was so helpful and professional and went out of their way to support and guide us.
The team were all excellent and took away a lot of the hassles and planning, so thanks for that.
Would certainly recommend you guys to anyone looking for a hassle free, well organised trip.
I greatly appreciated your time and communication answering any questions I had to make the recently completed Raid Pyrenneen challenge the best cycling trip I’ve experienced. So good that I’m looking forward to signing up again in 2023. Might even convince a friend or two to join me.
One last note, and you may have heard this already, you provided us with 2 guides that are simply amazing - words don’t do justice to how perfect Paul and Jorge were… Thanks so much!
Andrea’s team took things to a simply different level – not one I imagined was available for a rider of my standard & opened my eyes. I am sure you do realise how good they are but thought doesn’t hurt to say it again. Super professional, really helpful and a great trip (hotel also good
my wife & I had a super time in Italy & thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Hotel Boe.The food was high quality & we thought the staff were very amenable ,friendly & understanding. I really enjoyed cycling with 'Ferri' . His pre-Maratona rides were extremely helpful..& he did his best to make sure no-one was left behind. Tommaso ,his mechanic, was really kind, obliging & super helpful.
I look forward to engaging with you again - I have my sights on the Stelvio sportive
