Belgium
Cycle Belgium with Sportive Breaks
Belgium is the beating heart of road cycling, home to the Spring Classics and the iconic cobbled climbs that have shaped the sport for over a century. The bergs of Flanders are short but brutually stee, often deciding the outcome of races like the Tour of Flanders. Further south, the Ardennes host Liège Bastogne Liège, a monument defined by relentless climbs such as La Redoute and Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons.
These roads have witnessed legends: Merckx, Boonen, Gilbert and now Van de Poel. The combination of sharp gradients, uneven pavé, and unpredictable weather makes Belgium a true test of strength and skill. It’s not just racing, it’s a cultural event, with fans lining the roads and villages turning into cycling festivals.
The best part? You can ride these same routes. From early spring to late autumn, the cobbles and climbs are open to all. Challenge yourself on the bers, explore the rolling countryside, and experience the café culture that’s accompanied Belgian cycling for decades.
Why choose Belgium?
Ideal cycling conditions
Spring and autumn are the ideal seasons to ride in Belgium, with mild temperatures and the countryside at its most beautiful. Expect crisp mornings, vibrant landscapes, and the perfect conditions for tackling the iconic cobbled climbs. Summer is possible too, but be ready for the occasional heat, your reward will be long daylight hours and classic Belgian café stops.
