25 new cycling and hiking tours for 2027: Trek Travel’s biggest year ever

The first Trek Travel trip departed with a clear idea and a simple route. Twenty-five years later, the idea is the same. The routes are not. For 2027, Trek Travel’s new trip lineup is the largest in company history: 25 new routes spanning five continents, every trip style Trek Travel runs, and destinations that have never appeared in a Trek Travel catalog. New countries, a new cross-continent cycling journey, guided hikes on some of the world’s most storied walks, gravel roads across three very different American landscapes, and eight beloved classics rebuilt from the ground up. A brand new continent joins our map for the first time. This is what 25 years on the road looks like.

An unprecedented crossing: Copenhagen to Athens

The route moves through landscapes that shift from Scandinavian coastline to Central European roads to Balkan mountain terrain before arriving in Greece carrying the full weight of that journey. This is not a destination trip. It is a crossing and it is the clearest signal of how far Trek Travel’s ambitions reach in their 25th year.

Nothing in Trek Travel’s history quite resembles this one. This European Cross Country tour—Copenhagen to Athens is the company’s first cross-continent cycling route, connecting the Danish capital to Athens in a single, multi-country itinerary. Over the course of the trip, landscapes, languages, cuisines, and cultures shift gradually, revealing Europe in a way few travelers ever experience.

New trails on foot

The 2027 hiking lineup is the most significant expansion Trek Travel has made in the walking category. Three new destinations join, each with its own distinct character.

The Camino de Santiago is the most storied long-distance walk in the world. Pilgrims have been traveling its routes across northern Spain for more than a thousand years, moving through medieval villages, ancient forests, and open farmland toward the cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela. Trek Travel layers its own experience onto a handpicked selection of the Camino’s most rewarding stretches: expert local guides, thoughtfully chosen accommodation, and the WOW moments that define what a Trek Travel trip feels like on the ground. The Camino has always offered something that goes beyond the miles. Walking it with Trek Travel allows you to give it your full attention.

Patagonia Hiking puts travelers at the end of the world in the most literal sense. Torres del Paine, the granite towers rising from the southern Patagonian steppe, is one of the planet’s great hiking landscapes. The scale is genuinely different here. The distances between anything are different. Trek Travel’s guided experience in Patagonia brings that landscape within reach for travelers who want the drama without improvising logistics in a place that rewards preparation.

The England Hiking tour through Devon and Cornwall has coastal paths, seaside villages, and countryside that moves quietly from one county to the next—a different register from Patagonia, and its own reward.

New roads in Europe

Three new European destinations make their Trek Travel debut in 2027, each earning its place for different reasons.

Sardinia has a cycling reputation among Italian road cyclists who have known this island for years. The interior roads are quiet and demanding. The coastal routes are spectacular. The terrain is varied enough to reward riders of different abilities. For guided touring, Sardinia has remained largely unexplored. Trek Travel’s Sardinia Island Bike Tour brings the island’s full character to this year’s new trips—the food, the volcanic landscape, the particular warmth of Sardinian hospitality.

Portugal’s Duoro Valley is one of Europe’s most beautiful river corridors, its slopes terraced with vineyards above the river that has produced Port wine for centuries. The cycling moves at a pace that suits the landscape: river roads, vineyard climbs, villages that have been doing the same thing for generations. It is a different Portugal from the coastal and Algarve routes Trek Travel already runs, and a natural next chapter for travelers who want to go deeper into the country.

Scotland joins the Europe tours cycling roster as a newly reimagined destination for 2027. Highland roads, sea lochs, the kind of scale that makes every descent feel earned. Trek Travel’s Scotland Cycling Tour is a natural extension of the brand’s UK presence and a destination that has been on the list for cyclists who know what Scottish roads offer.

North America’s biggest expansion

Six new North American routes make 2027 Trek Travel’s most ambitious year on the continent. Two new destination types anchor the expansion, with a gravel thread running through three of the six new routes.

The Canadian Rockies and Hudson Valley

The Canadian Rockies make their Trek Travel debut with what may be the most visually striking new cycling destination in the entire 2027 lineup. Banff-area roads, glacier-fed lakes, alpine scale that is simply not available anywhere else in North America. The Canadian Rockies have long been a dream destination for cyclists who have covered the standard itineraries and want something that stops them in their tracks. Trek Travel’s Canadian Rockies Bike Tour brings its full guided experience to one of the continent’s defining landscapes.

The Hudson Valley arrives with our Hudson Valley Bike Tour. The Valley has a distinct cycling culture and a landscape that consistently surprises people who know it only from a distance: rolling terrain, river views, and a food culture built on the farms that line both sides of the valley. Its proximity to the Northeast makes it one of the most accessible first Trek Travel trips for a lot of riders in that part of the country.

Three new gravel routes

New Mexico, Maine, and Montana give Trek Travel’s growing gravel bike tours portfolio three very different American personalities in a single year.

The New Mexico Gravel Bike Tour moves through high desert, volcanic roads, and the particular silence of the Southwest at elevation. This is gravel with space. The kind of riding where the horizon stretches for miles and the road is entirely yours.

The Maine and Acadia Gravel Bike Tour begins in Maine’s remote North Woods, then opens onto the coastal terrain of Acadia National Park. Gravel roads through spruce and fir give way to Atlantic light on granite coastline, on a route where big views unfold slowly.

The Cody to Bozeman Gravel Bike Tour connects two iconic Western towns across Montana’s high country, running through landscapes that formed the American idea of the West. The corridor between Wyoming and Montana carries both the scale of the northern Rockies and gravel roads worth the journey on their own terms.

New horizons: Japan, Morocco, and Thailand

Three destinations, three continents, and one consistent idea: Trek Travel extending its reach into territory that active travelers have been asking for.

Japan’s 2027 itinerary runs from Nara to Tokyo, following quiet country roads between ancient temples, bamboo groves, and rural landscapes before arriving at one of the world’s great cities. The Nara to Tokyo Bike Tour is the going-forward Japan program for 2027, pairing the cultural depth of Nara’s heritage sites with the quality of riding that Japanese backroads consistently deliver.

Morocco Gravel Bike Tour puts riders into the Atlas Mountains on terrain unlike anything else in the Trek Travel collection. Desert-edge roads, ochre hillsides, a cultural landscape that adds a completely different dimension to a gravel trip. It is now available for booking.

Thailand rounds out the global expansion as Trek Travel’s first gravel route in Southeast Asia. Northern Thailand’s forested roads, temple complexes, and the heat and color of the landscape create a riding experience with its own signature. The Asia Pacific tours category now reaches further than it ever has.

For the competitor: the Ardennes Race

The Ardennes Race bike tour plants Trek Travel firmly in Spring Classics territory. The forested Dutch Ardennes and Belgium‘s punishing climbs are the setting for some of professional cycling’s most celebrated one-day races, and Trek Travel’s new race experience puts riders on those same roads across two Gran Fondos. The grades that decide races. The surfaces that separate fields. For the cyclist who wants to feel the race rather than watch it, this is the trip. It sits alongside Trek Travel’s Tour de France experiences as part of a growing portfolio built for riders who want professional cycling to be something fully immersive.

Eight existing Trek Travel trips have been fully reimagined for 2027. The design process reflects something Trek Travel does consistently: rebuild what already works, informed by what guides and travelers have learned on the ground.

The classics, rebuilt

Trek Travel’s England Cycling Tour moves to new ground for 2027—the Cotswolds, home to honey-stone villages, market towns, and Castle Combe, often called England’s prettiest village. The Loire Valley comes back as a rebuilt take on one of France’s most celebrated cycling corridors, where vineyard roads and chateau stops make every day feel magical. The Portugal Ride Camp, one of Trek Travel’s most popular performance-focused formats, returns refined for riders who come specifically to train with purpose. The Slovenia to Croatia pairing, one of the European portfolio’s richest itineraries for food and culture, has been introduced for 2027. And the Bryce-Zion tour, already one of North America’s most dramatic cycling settings, returns with a reimagined route through the canyon country of southern Utah.

Each of these trips already had a strong track record. The 2027 versions are even better.

Your pace, your way: new self-guided routes

Three new itineraries join Trek Travel’s growing list of self-guided trips for 2027. Self-guided travel with Trek Travel means you set the pace—but you do not go without the things that define a Trek Travel trip. Premium Trek bikes, the Ride with GPS app loaded with routes and local recommendations, curated hotels, and support infrastructure that is there when you need it.

The Mallorca Self-Guided Bike Tour brings Trek Travel’s self-guided format to one of Europe’s most beloved cycling islands. The Provence Self-Guided Bike Tour joins the 2027 catalog with an updated route through Provence’s lavender fields and limestone villages. The Scotland Self-Guided Bike Tour extends the self-guided category into the Highlands for travelers who want that landscape entirely on their own terms.

Twenty-five years, same commitment

The routes change. The countries expand. The formats grow. What has not changed in 25 years is the thing that defined the first Trek Travel trip: expert local guides who know the road and the culture, premium Trek bikes matched to the terrain, hotels selected for what they add to an experience rather than simply where they sit on a map, and the WOW moments that no traveler sees coming but every traveler remembers. These are vacations of a lifetime.

Twenty-five new trips. Twenty-five years. The standard has not moved.
