After the remarkable success of the 2025 Moroccan and Auvergne editions, the legendary Sun Trip is back — brighter than ever.
For 2026, registration is officially open for two incredible 15-day solar-powered adventures, each offering a unique challenge and unforgettable landscapes. Whether you dream of desert dunes or Alpine climbs, this is your chance to ride into solar-powered history.


☀️ Sun Trip Morocco 2026 – Into the Desert Sun

Following the groundbreaking “Destination Sahara” edition, the Moroccan route has become a symbol of the Sun Trip spirit — endurance, innovation, and pure solar adventure.

In April 2026, participants will once again gather in Tangier for an epic journey of around 15 days, tracing a new course through Morocco’s stunning landscapes.
This year’s plan: a reverse route from Laayoune to Rabat, taking riders from the Atlantic dunes northward through diverse terrains and cultural gems.

Level: Advanced — experience with long-distance cycling and solar setup testing required.
Expect daily averages of 130 km, with some challenging 200 km stages. This is not a race, but a solar performance challenge — rewarding creativity, endurance, and efficiency using 100% solar power.

Included services:
✅ On-site logistics in Morocco
✅ Accommodation and meals for ~10 nights
✅ Technical support crew

(Transport to Morocco not included — ferry from France or Spain recommended.)

Registration fees:

  • Individual: €1,500
  • Couple: €1,900
  • Corporate: €2,500
    (€500 deposit, refundable until Dec 1, 2025)

Available spots: 20 participants maximum.

🌍 Special invitation:
Two spots will be offered to creative or inspiring candidates who bring new energy to the project. These invitations cover registration only; guests must have their own solar bike and cover travel costs. Apply via this form.


🌄 Sun Trip Auvergne–Rhône-Alpes 2026 – From Lyon to the Alps

The French edition of the Sun Trip continues its success story!
After a vibrant 2025 regional journey, the 2026 edition brings back the spirit of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes challenge — combining mountain beauty, friendly competition, and solar-powered innovation.

Arrival expected around July 2 or 3, with a route crossing the Monts d’Auvergne and finishing in Albertville, Savoie.

Level: Intermediate — accessible to riders with moderate experience.
Stages will range between 100–130 km per day, with alternative routes for less experienced participants.
Again, there’s no race against time, only a points challenge for the most efficient solar performance.

Included services:
✅ Technical support vehicles
✅ Organized accommodation every 2–3 days
✅ Meals and overnight stays (mix of hotels, gîtes, refuges, and camping)
Bring your own tent for camping nights.
