Kromvojoj (long route)

Kromvojoj is one of Southern Europe’s premier self-supported ultra-distance cycling events, showcasing the remarkable diversity of Catalonia through a carefully crafted route of quiet roads, gravel tracks, and iconic mountain passes. Named after the Esperanto word for “many possible paths,” the event celebrates not only the journey across the landscape but also the personal adventure every rider experiences along the way.

The flagship route covers approximately 1,335 kilometres with more than 26,000 metres of elevation gain, while a shorter 885-kilometre option offers the same philosophy in a more compact format. Both routes take riders through historic villages, Mediterranean forests, the rugged Pyrenees, and sections of the French Pyrenees, combining spectacular scenery with relentless climbing.

Kromvojoj follows a strict self-supported ethos. Riders are responsible for their own navigation, resupply, accommodation, and mechanical repairs, with no outside assistance permitted. Success depends on pacing, smart decision-making, and the ability to adapt to long days in the saddle across constantly changing terrain.

Rather than focusing solely on competition, Kromvojoj places equal emphasis on community and the spirit of adventure. The route is designed to immerse riders in Catalonia’s landscapes, culture, and history, creating an experience that is as rewarding as it is demanding.

With its combination of epic climbing, stunning scenery, and a welcoming bikepacking community, Kromvojoj has established itself as one of Europe’s must-ride ultra-distance events for cyclists seeking a true self-supported adventure.
