These are the 2026 dates for the Ride Camps

Col d'Izoard

Ride is known for its extensive print reports and large tour database. But the ride makers also take to the trails in person at the ride camps. They start in Barcelona in March, followed by numerous camps in the Alps and the Finalissima in Genoa in October.

In addition to some old acquaintances, the 2026 line-up also includes new locations. For example, the Neuchâtel Jura, Flumserberg, Adelboden, Scuol, Flims and, as the final destination, Genoa.

This year, in addition to the weekend camps, there are also two new one-week camps. The first of these will be in Barcelona and Girona, a great combination for a city trip including overnight coach travel. In July, Thomas Giger and Eric Haufe will then set off on a very special enduro camp: from Aosta to Briançon across the northern Western Alps.

The camps in Briançon and Val d'Anniviers plus the legendary Ortler circumnavigation will also be back.
