It’s no mystery why Professionals and National Team riders choose to train here in Portugal. With good weather, traffic free roads and smooth tarmac, these challenging mountains embrace a multitude of high altitude climbs including HC, CAT 1 and CAT 2 Climbs.
Discover dramatic climbs like the Col’ de Cabeça to Torres that snakes it’s way from 300m to 2,000m in only 33kms. The 15kms of Col’ de Manteigas with its switchbacks that climb up through the secluded wooded slopes high above Vale do Zêzere. Or, Col’ de Seia which was quoted by Cycling Weekly the last time they rode with us, as “Tougher than Ventoux”!
And, when you’ve finished riding in this oasis of calm and tranquility, you can enjoy the breath-taking views, the delicious gastronomy and the sumptuous local wines in our mountain hotel situated at 1,500m altitude.
Portugal’s Serra da Estrela is a unique mountainous region offering ascents soaring up to an altitude of 2,000m (6,500ft). This Tour will take you off the beaten track and on an adventure discovering climbs you never knew existed.
We are continually amazed by the peaceful, smooth roads, the magnificent climbs and the exhilarating descents. And now we want to share these experiences with you.
With full support from the Team Volta Crew, this will be a week full of lifetime memories.
This Tour is for those that may have already conquered the more famous Cols and are looking for a new experience. It’s a tough week (500km and 12,000m accumulated elevation gain) so is not for the faint hearted.
Many of the climbs are featured in our 10 Best Climbs in Portugal.
This Tour is also perfect for anyone that is preparing for a multi-day event such as the N2 Challenge or the Trans-Iberian Challenge, as the format and level of difficulty will provide an excellent foundation for such an undertaking.
Typical days include three climbs, 2,000m of elevation gain and are up to 100km in length. The Pro Climb Portugal Tour is a truly thrilling week spent in the safe hands of consummate professionals – a week that will stimulate your senses, challenge your body and enrich your soul.
Best of all, with our exemplary service you will have nothing to think of but enjoying your ride
