Welcome to the epicenter of European cycling. Girona and the Costa Brava offer an unparalleled mix of perfect pavement, rolling hills, and stunning Mediterranean coastline, making it the ideal location to sharpen your form and fine-tune your technique. This is the home of professional cycling, and for five intensive days, it's your training ground.
Our camp is specifically designed to deliver maximum training value and expert guidance. You won’t just ride; you’ll receive professional advice on climbing, confident cornering, strategic group riding, and time trial techniques from a Grand Tours Project expert. Operating from our single base in Girona, the itinerary transitions seamlessly to explore the stunning coastal circuits of the Costa Brava to the famous inland climbs and roads around Girona itself. And in April, experience the region in full bloom, enjoying mild temperatures and vibrant green scenery as you build peak form for the season ahead.
Join us to train like a pro, fine-tune your skills, and return home fitter, faster, and more confident.
Plan Your Private Club Tour
¡Bienvenido a Girona! We’ll collect you from your pre-determined location at Girona Airport and transfer you to your hotel nearby. After check-in, we’ll quickly reassemble and fine-tune your bikes. Our first ride is a short, essential spin into the immediate hills south of the city – a perfect leg opener. Back at the hotel, you can relax before our pre-dinner drinks. We’ll discuss the weather and training plan with our guide before enjoying our first dinner at a local gastronomic restaurant in the historic city centre.
Start your day with an optional gym and stretching session to learn essential cyclist recovery and warm-up techniques. After breakfast, we roll out of the city and head east, making a beeline for the coast! This route is famous for its stunning views, long straights, and technical sections. Your professional guide will offer practical advice on group riding, signalling, and cornering confidence. We’ll enjoy a light lunch near the coast before returning inland, utilizing quiet country roads that bring us back directly to our Girona base. The hotel spa is waiting to ensure full recovery before dinner.
Today is all about elevation gain. We head straight out of the city to tackle the iconic Els Àngels climb and the rolling hills of the Les Gavarres massif. Your guide will provide essential training on technical and metabolic climbing exercises to improve your efficiency on various gradients. Crucially, we’ll dedicate time to instruction on confident descending, focusing on high-speed straights and hairpin technique. Knowing how to take a corner with confidence is a fundamental training camp goal!
The support van is available to meet us on the final descent if needed, ensuring you are back at the hotel in time for recovery before dinner.
Our longest and most challenging training day. We head south to tackle one of the region’s classic pro loops, focusing on time trial techniques and riding in an echelon against potential head or crosswinds. We’ll put your group riding skills to the test and even practice an “emergency moment” response in a controlled environment. The highlight is the challenging ascent over Coll de Terra Negra towards the coast near Tossa de Mar, followed by a final rewarding descent that carries us back toward Girona. We finish the ride rolling back into the city, concluding a massive day of training.
¡Despedida! Congratulations – you’ve successfully completed the camp! You’re finishing fitter and faster, having logged approximately 350 km and over 3,900 metres of climbing from a single base. Enjoy a leisurely final breakfast. We’ll help you pack up your bike and transfer you to your departure point.
¡Nos vemos en el camino! (See you on the road!)
