Welcome to Polka Dot - cycling holidays
At Polka Dot Cycling Holidays we are passionate about riding in the mountains. In the summer we base our holidays in the French Alps and over the winter/spring we run training camps in Tenerife. Our aim is to help our guests achieve extraordinary heights, in their own way. There is nothing like following in the footsteps of your Tour de France heroes and riding on the best mountain roads in the world. But we are not all Tour riders – it’s nice to be able to walk the day after! So with our years of experience, we'll show you how to achieve that unbelievable feeling of summiting a mountain you never thought you could ride, then at the end of the day enjoy relaxing with a glass of wine, and reliving the excitement of the day with like minded cyclists.
