This summer, something new opens in the Rhodope Mountains. VELOVIA — a boutique cycling camp built around three ideas: ride, perform, belong — welcomes its first riders on 29 July 2026.
Set in the heart of the Rhodope Mountains — often called the Mountains of Orpheus — the camp combines quiet roads, authentic mountain hospitality and a cycling experience built around small groups and personal attention.
The Founding Season counts four camps between July and September: Rhodope Explorer, High Summer Epic, Autumn Rhodope and Autumn Legend. Each is limited to twelve riders, with four nights in a private mountain villa, three guided riding days totalling 299 km and 6,088 m of climbing, a private chef and a daily recovery massage, sauna and outdoor jacuzzi.
As a founding-season rider you join at Founder's Edition pricing and you become part of the first chapter of the VELOVIA story.
Applications are open now. We personally answer every application within 24 hours.
