Summer European road cycling tours latest!

How has your summer been? Our summer road cycling tours are in full swing! Whether you’ve been on tour with us, or pedaling elsewhere, we hope you’ve had the opportunity to get out and enjoy our wonderful planet. For us, it’s all about the epic rides. Big skies, mountain peaks that stretch as far as the eye can see, sampling different food, and making new connections. It’s all good!

We’ve been kept super busy this year – as usual! Whether that’s out on the road supporting our riders, or here in the office at Marmot HQ. It’s been so helpful to read your feedback forms so far – and your lovely reviews on Trip Advisor! We always listen to your suggested improvements and we implement these where we can.

2025 Road cycling tours

We sincerely want to thank you for your patience as we make the final tweaks to our schedule of tours for 2025. We know how much you want to iron out your holiday plans for next year, and we’re doing everything in our power to get our tour dates confirmed.

It’s hard to explain the complexity of this project! We coordinate our four support teams across the mountains of Europe, making sure the vans are in the correct region for the next tour commencing. We negotiate with multiple hotels which can often be more time-consuming than we’d like. Imagine an extremely complicated game of Tetris, combined with a Rubik’s Cube, and you’ll get a sense of it! We don’t publish speculative dates (which would be a lot simpler for us!), as we believe you’d prefer to know exactly when you’re going on holiday, so you can book flights and so on. However, this does take longer to get right, so we really appreciate you bearing with us.

Scouts honour: we plan to launch our 2025 road cycling tours VERY soon, so keep an eye on your inbox for our next email!

This weekend, our trusty vans and superstar guides will be supporting cyclists in some of the most stunning corners of Europe. The iconic Raid Pyrenean involves traversing the Pyrenees from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean in under 100 hours. We’ve also got riders challenging themselves to our epic Raid Alpine (Lake Geneva to Nice). Elsewhere, we’re supporting riders on our flexible pace tours in the breathtaking Swiss Alps, and on our Best of the Dolomites 4-day mini-break.
