Why Armenia
Armenia gets very few cycling visitors and that’s the headline. You can ride a 1,800-metre pass in late September and not see another vehicle for an hour. The monasteries are some of the oldest in the world, the food is unexpectedly excellent, and the people are warm in a way that lasts.
The climbing is real — most days have at least one significant ascent — but the rewards on the way up are some of the best on the network.
What’s confirmed
Pilot tour: September 12 to 27, 2026. Sixteen days. Twelve riders maximum. Run with our local operator Artur, who has been guiding cycling tours here for over a decade.
This is a pilot tour at pilot pricing — a small discount to first riders in exchange for help fine-tuning the route. After September, we expect to run two or three Armenia tours per year from 2027 onwards.
