SCENIC ROADS AND
EXTRAORDINARY LANDSCAPES
The six Ride Across Portugal stages allow participants to explore some of the quietest and most scenic roads you can find in Portugal.
Alto da Torre, the highest point in mainland Portugal (1,993m altitude) is the summit of Serra da Estrela and is also the most iconic cycling spot in Portugal. This venue, usually receives the most mythical Tour of Portugal’s stage arrivals.
Some of the main Portuguese rivers are also part of the scenery, providing all participants with unforgettable images.
TIMED SEGMENTS TO
SPICE UP THE EXPERIENCE
The most competitive cyclists enjoy timed segments at each stage.
Challenge yourself and your peloton mates daily. 4 to 6 timed segments each day, allow you to fight for the ranking in each stage and for the final victory in Ride Across Portugal – men and women classifications.
This more inclusive format allows cyclists to compete while still having time and freedom to socialise, regroup, stop at feed stations, ride with friends, pause, and take photos.
4 STAR AND
BOUTIQUE HOTELS
As well as offering the best comfort to recover from the demanding stages, the official Ride Across Portugal hotels are also an important part of the experience that we want you to get from your participation on the event.
The choice of hotels is based not only on quality, but also on its location, looking for proximity to the departures and arrivals of each stage, avoiding the need for transfers.
UNPARALLELED LEVEL OF
SERVICE AND SUPPORT
The organisation will assist participants with a supporting team together with transfers, medical staff, technical assistance, recovering meals, chrono systems, massages and security controls, during a week full of emotions, friendship and incredible cycling.
Portugal, especially in its interior, offers a vast network of roads with little car traffic, good pavement and fantastic landscape settings, making this country an exceptional destination for cycling, with a varied profile between more mountainous stages and other flatter ones.
