Our team hosted around 50 riders and supporters at the 2026 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in Niseko, Japan and we've been taking groups to the Tour de France and the other major international races since 2010.
“An awesome experience on a cycling tour for the 2026 Gran Fondo World Championships in Niseko, Japan. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will and the team were great. Highly recommend.”

What our guests say
Will and his crew create an amazing experience. They are so chilled and yet so organised.
The days and meals were all beautifully planned, accommodation was well chosen and the rides and other activities were awesome!
Dannette - Young, Australia
The Higher Ground difference is the smarts, thinking and on ground knowledge and support that creates a unique experience for the travel group.
There are many good companies that support businesses and groups in this space but Higher Ground is the best I have ever had the pleasure to travel and would recommend without hesitation.
Kristiaan - Sydney, Australia
Have worked with Will for 8 years now on several European cycling trips. His attention to detail in taking us to Italy, Spain and from Budapest to Berlin was unmatched.
Custom designed trips with outstanding riding, support, meals and accommodation.
Richard - Melbourne, Australia
What really elevated the trip were the unique cultural experiences that complemented the football.
It was clear that Higher Ground had put significant thought into creating a memorable itinerary that showcased the best of each destination, not just the matches themselves.
