How to read this

Compare what is included

Prices only make sense next to what they cover.

Course prices range from under €1,000 to several thousand euros. The difference is mostly in what is included: bike rental, transport of your bike, accommodation and meals, and how many days you actually ride. Check those four before comparing the headline price. All figures below come from the organisers’ own pages; follow the links for current terms.

Choosing

Which one fits you

  • First roadbook, own bike, Europe: a week-long course gives you enough roadbooks to make mistakes and fix them. Shorter courses are a taste, not a habit.
  • Preparing for a desert event: choose a course with long days and at least one stage ridden on your own, not only dune drills.
  • No bike to bring: courses with rental included are simpler; check the deposit and what happens if you damage the bike.
  • Quad or SSV: many courses are motorcycle-only. The Untamed Bootcamp takes bikes, quads and SSVs.
