Your stay
Every VELOVIA camp is based in a carefully selected mountain villa. Wake up to the silence of the mountains. Spend the day riding some of Europe's most beautiful roads. Return to exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and the comfort of a premium mountain retreat. The chef is in the kitchen, the sauna is at temperature, and the massage table is waiting. Recovery at VELOVIA is not an extra. It is the second half of the experience.

We use different villas depending on the camp location — around Sandanski in Southwest Bulgaria, in Banya near Bansko in the Pirin Mountains, and around Progled in the Rhodope Mountains. Every villa is chosen for privacy, recovery and direct access to great riding.
