Gran Canaria
Cycling course in Gran Canaria: ride in the sun in the heart of winter
Treat yourself to a week of cycling in Gran Canaria, one of Europe’s most popular destinations for winter cycling courses. While the French roads face the cold, rain or frost, take advantage of ideal conditions for riding: mild temperatures, generous sunshine, quality roads and varied reliefs suitable for all types of cyclists.
Nicknamed the “miniature continent”, Gran Canaria offers an incredible diversity of landscapes. In a few kilometers, you will go from spectacular cliffs plunging into the Atlantic Ocean to arid valleys, from pine forests to volcanic peaks offering exceptional panoramas of the entire island. Each outing is a real immersion in grandiose settings that make this destination a must for cycling enthusiasts.
Throughout the week, you will discover the most beautiful climbs on the island: the Mirador Astronómico de la Degollada, the Salto del Perro, the Alto de Tarmisas, the Alto de Fataga or the mythical Pico de las Nieves, the highest point in Gran Canaria. Winding, uncrowded and perfectly maintained roads await you to rack up the miles and the difference in altitude in the best conditions.
