TOUR OF FLANDERS 2027 cycling tour
Experience the passion, cobbles and history of flanders
Experience the legendary Tour of Flanders with Velo Echappe in 2027! Join us in Belgium for six days where you will be immersed in the world of the Spring Classics, from the cobbled climbs of the Flemish Ardennes to the electric atmosphere surrounding one of professional cycling’s most iconic races.
We’ve secured 10 rooms at the four-star Hotel Leopold in charming Oudenaarde for this small-group Tour of Flanders experience. What this means for you is that there are NO TRANSFERS for visiting the Tour of Flanders Museum, riding the We Ride Flanders Sportive, exploring the legendary roads of De Ronde, and watching the men’s and women’s professional races! You could not ask for a better home base to explore the Flemish Ardennes during the Tour of Flanders week!
Velo Echappe has been creating and operating award-winning cycling vacations since 1996, when we were the first North American company to create a tour to the Spring Classics. We bring our experience, personal approach and passion for the sport to a trip designed for people who want to experience the Spring Classics beyond simply watching them on television.
Our March 31–April 5 trip coincides with a spectacular stretch of the Belgian cycling calendar:
March 31: Dwars door Vlaanderen
April 3: We Ride Flanders, the mass-participation sportive
April 4: The professional Tour of Flanders men’s and women’s races

Afterwards, celebrate your accomplishment in the main square with a cold Kwaremont beer.
