What better way to discover some of the worlds most attractive and dramatic landscapes than to travel by bike on uncrowded tracks and routes? With our flexible professional guides, RARA Cycling Holidays cater for all levels of riders.

Discover an exciting range of holidays from a gentle tour along the Normandy coast, to a weekend break in the granite hills of Swiss Normandy to a thrilling 10 day adventure of traversing the Pyrenees mountains. For those who ride now and again and fancy exploring by bike, we have our Calvados Classic and D-Day Landing Beach Tours. Both Normandy and the Pyrenees offer superb mountain biking with tough climbs, endless descents and technical single track. As for road-biking, once you've experienced Swiss Normandy you'll understand why the area is a training ground for Tour de France riders! The mountains offer the ultimate challenge for cyclists in the form of the Pyrenean Raid 10 day road-biking tour.

On our 3 day short-breaks we ensure that minimum time is balanced out with maximum adventure and that fun is the main ingredient of your time away. Choosing a longer stay allows you to set yourself a challenge and really become one with your bike and nature! The joy of both destinations is that you'll feel as is if there is no-one else around; with a massive network of off-road tracks and quiet country lanes, rural France is a an ideal destination for a cyclist to get out into the hills and forget about the stresses of day to day life.

A RARA biking trip is intended to give you a brilliant travel experience. Ride with professional guides and in small groups to ensure that your needs are the focus of the trip and you have a great cycling holiday.
