Ventus Discovery Camp 2027

Ride to Discover the Provence.

01 - 08 May 2027 | Provence, France

For one unforgettable week, leave behind the distractions of everyday life and immerse yourself in one of the finest cycling regions in Europe, where legendary roads, expert coaching, and a passionate group of riders come together to create an experience built around one goal: Ride to Discover.

Unlike organizing such a trip on your own, every aspect has already been carefully planned. From flights and bike transport to accommodation, coaching, nutrition, support vehicles, photography, and logistics, everything is taken care of, allowing you to focus exclusively on riding.

The Discovery Ride will take place from 01-08 of May, 2027, and will include the following:

• Ride where cycling history was written.
• Enjoy iconic climbs and scenery.
• Sleep well. Eat well. Recover properly.

Why Join?

Throughout the week you will ride quiet mountain roads, tackle demanding climbs, enjoy nature and the scenery, and learn directly from experienced coaches who know these roads better than anyone.

Each ride has been carefully designed to have the maximum possible experience, while maximising recovery between sessions, ensuring you arrive home stronger, fitter, and more confident on the bike.

Most importantly, you'll become part of the Ventus community, sharing the road, the meals, the climbs, and the unforgettable moments that make experiences like these so special.

Professional Coaching & Guide

Guide and Sports Director Nicolas Collinet will once again lead the group on the roads of Provence, ensuring every ride runs safely and smoothly while sharing his extensive local knowledge.

Expect:

• Smooth, low-traffic roads
• Long, steady climbs

This is why professional teams train here.
