Cycling holiday on the North Holland coast
Cycling holiday on the North Holland coast
Get on your bike at your front door and choose: the coastal route along the beach and sea dyke, a loop through the Schoorl Dunes, or along the inner dune edge to Bergen and Alkmaar.
Camperduinen lies in the middle of one of the most beautiful cycling areas in the Netherlands, and after a day in the saddle you come home to a renovated apartment with a terrace in the evening sun.
Practical for cyclists
There is room to store bikes at your apartment, and there are several rental points for e-bikes and mountain bikes in the area.
Coming for a long weekend? Outside the high season you can book stays from 3 nights, and with the all-in price you know exactly where you stand.
Routes for every cyclist
From Camperduin you are in the dunes or the polder within minutes. The coastal route towards Bergen aan Zee is a classic, the cycle network takes you through polder and dunes via numbered junctions, and in half an hour you are at the cheese market in Alkmaar.
Road cyclist? The sea dyke and the inner dune edge are favourites with cyclists from all over the region.
The toughest MTB trail in the Netherlands
For mountain bikers, the Schoorl Dunes are sacred ground: this is home to the toughest and, according to many, most beautiful MTB trail in the country, with steep climbs through woods and drifting sand. The start is within cycling distance of your apartment.

Frequently asked questions about a cycling holiday
Can I store my bikes safely?
Yes, there is room to store your bikes at your apartment. Bringing an expensive road bike, e-bike or MTB? Just mention it when you book and we will help find the best spot.
Are there e-bike or mountain bike rentals nearby?
Yes. In and around Schoorl there are several bike rental shops where you can hire e-bikes, regular bikes and mountain bikes, a few minutes from your apartment. Handy if you come without your own bike or want to try the MTB trail.
Can I book for a weekend or midweek?
