New on the Maats Travels calendar: a weekend escape to the Vosges.
21-23 Augustus 2026
You've been asking for it and here it is. Weekend trips have been one of the most requested additions to Maats Travels, and we're kicking things off with a great one. No race entry, no pressure just a long weekend of great riding, great food, and great company in one of France's most beautiful cycling regions.
The location
L'Échappée Vosgienne is a brand new hotel built for sport and recovery, set in the heart of Gérardmer in the Vosges mountains. Think comfortable twin rooms with locally crafted bedding, full access to the sports and wellness facilities, and a kitchen run by a dedicated chef who knows that cyclists need more than a sad buffet. Meals are built around local produce, nutritional balance, and dietary needs — so whether you're fuelling hard or recovering smart, you're covered.
The programme
Friday 21 August — check in from 16:00 and get straight into it with an 75-85km ride to stretch the legs after the journey. Dinner together at the hotel. Perfect start to the weekend.
Saturday 22 August — Big day ahead. After breakfast, choose your route: a 120km or 160km ride through the climbs and valleys of the Vosges. Both options are fully supported. Dinner together in the evening to celebrate surviving it.
Sunday 23 August — Breakfast and check-out at 10:00 then a relaxed coffee ride of 50–65km to spin out the legs and end the weekend the right way.
Practical info
Rooms are twin-shared with two separate beds. Single rooms are not available due to capacity. You'd like to room with a specific person, let us know when booking.
Need to bring your bike by van? We've got space in the Maats Sprinter for 12 bikes — first come first served. Prefer to drive yourself or travel by train? Gérardmer is easy to reach independently.
