I'm working on both those events....ย <br /><br />They may look spendy but its a full service package for the pair including all accommodation....ย  both run by the same team and super organised and supported. Trails are all sublime.ย

Trans Alps.ย 

Swiss epic is supposed to be amazing.ย 

Both pairs races though.ย

I'm in the process of organizing to do Alps Epic - bit cheaper than Swiss Epic. Single entry is possible.

I logged in to start a thread about this. About a month ago I registered for the Alps Epic and am going solo.

Was wondering if anyone else on here might have signed up but seems there might be!

Have also done the Transalp a couple of years ago, it was amazing but it's gone up in price quite a lot and 7 days riding with the travelling etc means you are away from home for pretty much 10 days so decided to try ย the alps epic this year which is only 5 days and the way its organised means its only 1 weekend away.

Trying to find some motivation to get training regular!

Madrid-Lisbon isn't a stage race, but could be an option if you fancy a challenge. It's in June, so expect heat!

Some other Spanish options (in Spanish, you might need to use Google translate):
