About Velovia

Founder, VELOVIA
VELOVIA was born from a simple idea: to share our love of cycling and our passion for hospitality with people from around the world.
After nearly two decades of living, studying, and working in Austria, I learned that the most memorable experiences are not defined only by the destination, but by the people, the atmosphere, and the attention to every detail.
My international career in leadership and management, including nearly twenty years in executive positions within the Schwarz Group, helped shape this philosophy and inspired the vision behind VELOVIA.
More than a cycling camp, VELOVIA is an invitation to discover Bulgaria from the saddle of a bike. From breathtaking mountain landscapes and quiet roads to local culture, authentic cuisine, and genuine hospitality, we want every guest to experience the country the way we do — authentic, welcoming, and full of hidden treasures.

What to expect
From the moment you apply, everything is handled personally. Routes, logistics, bike setup, dietary preferences, airport transfers, and special requests are arranged with care and attention to detail. With a maximum of twelve riders per camp, VELOVIA offers something increasingly rare: a truly personal experience, where every rider is known by name and every detail matters.
More than a camp… it's a lifestyle.
