Belgium is one of the world’s most iconic cycling destinations! Especially Flanders, with over a century of racing heritage, legendary cobbled climbs and a deep-rooted cycling culture. Exploring it on a self-guided road cycling trip gives you total freedom: ride whenever you like, choose routes that suit your distance and elevation goals, and discover the historic farm roads, Flemish bergs and scenic countryside at your own pace. We’ll provide a GPS navigation app with curated routes, including the famous climbs that shaped races like the Tour of Flanders, and you can even visit KOERS, the cycling museum in Roeselare, to dive deeper into the region’s history, looking for a souvenir? Why not visit the Centrum Ronde van Vlaanderen. Depending on the time of year, you might even spot pro riders out training!
How many nights you stay is also up to you – we have a selection of hotels and durations from 3 nights, but if you want to stay for a longer period of time just book more nights. Half Board, private airport transfers and bike rental (or e-bikes) can also be included in your package.
Itinerary
Day To Day
On arrival, your private transfer (if you’ve included this in your booking) will be waiting for you to drive you to your chosen hotel – approximately 70 minutes away. If you’re planning to bring your own bike, this will need to be added to your transfer booking and will be transported with you. Up to 4 places can be booked online. Transfers for larger groups can be quoted on request.
Depending on your arrival and departure times, you may be able to squeeze in some extra cycling time on your arrival and departure days – please ensure you have included enough bike rental time for this if you’re renting a bike to be picked up in Belgium.
It’s entirely up to you how you plan your cycling schedule during your stay. There are plenty of routes that set off from your hotel, so you can choose your route for each day and also when you wish to rest and relax. Below are a few examples of route options:
- Kortrijk to Oudenaarde via Koppenberg – 95km & 600m+ Elevation
- Tour of Flanders (Medium Course) – 125km & 1700m+ Elevation
- Tour of Flanders (Short Course) – 80km & 900m+ Elevation
- Tour of Flanders (Long Course) 171km & 2100m+ Elevation
- Oudenaarde to Oudenaarde via Koppenberg, Taaienberg, Oude Kwaremont & Paterberg – 76km & 900m+ Elevation
