How to fill out the registration form? Please read these instructions carefully.

The UECT has set up this online registration form. It is your responsibility to fill it out following the entry instructions and click VALIDATE to confirm your registration for the European Week.

1- Who can register? Anyone who participates in cycle touring, as well as accompanying persons, may register for the UECT SE. These individuals may or may not be members of a federation affiliated with the UECT. The online registration form allows you to enter information for either one or more individual participants, one or two couples, or a family with children. If there are more than 2 couples, multiple families, or more than 5 people, you must submit separate registration forms to qualify for the advertised rates.
The participant responsible as the administrative contact for the group will serve as the point of contact for the SE UECT organizer and will be the sole recipient of information regarding the event.

3- License Validity: SE UECT participants who have declared that they hold a valid cycle-touring license/insurance for the year 2026—and subsequently validated in 2027—issued by a UECT member federation (FFCT – FECT – PTTK – FPCUB – F4DM), must present it along with their final registration confirmation when checking in at the registration desk. Otherwise, registration fees will be recalculated and adjusted based on the participant’s actual status (see rates below).

4- Insurance: SE participants who do not hold a valid cycling tourism license/insurance for the year 2027 must purchase liability insurance and, if applicable, repatriation assistance, from an insurer of their choice and present proof of this liability insurance along with the final registration confirmation upon check-in at the UECT SE 2027 registration desk.
Alternatively, these participants may purchase third-party liability insurance offered by UECT, which is valid only for the duration of the UECT SE 2027 event.

5- Email Addresses: For users with @gmail and @hotmail addresses, our confirmation emails may end up in the junk or spam folder of your inbox, so please check there.
To ensure that our emails sent from info@uect.org are not automatically deleted by your internet service provider but appear in your inbox rather than in your spam or junk folder, we recommend that you add info@uect.org to your email’s favorites, “approved senders” list, or “never block this sender” list.

6- Changes to Registration or Trip Services Stay: Once your registration form has been approved, any changes to it can only be made to the SE registration referent via email at info@uect.org, specifying your reference file number.

7- Cancellation of Participation
==> By the Participant (request to be submitted by the SE registration referent for the application): A cancellation request due to personal force majeure (specific to the individual), duly justified and submitted exclusively via email to info@uect.org, will be:
a) accepted until April 10, 2027, for a full refund of registration fees plus camping, meals, excursions, and equipment listed on the registration form.
b) For any cancellation after April 10, 2027, and up to and including May 9, 2027, only the registration fees will be retained in full by the organization. The camping, meals, excursions, and equipment services listed on the registration form will be refunded.
c) For all cancellations after May 9, 2027, and in the event of non-participation in the SE UECT 2027, the registration fees plus the camping, meals, excursions, and equipment listed on the registration form will be retained in full by the organization.
The determination of whether a force majeure event has occurred remains the exclusive discretion of the organizers of the 2027 UECT Week.
==> By the UECT: In the event of cancellation of the “Week” due to force majeure (as defined in Article 1218 of the French Civil Code)—for example, a pandemic, border closures, or an economic crisis— the decision regarding whether it is feasible or not to organize the “Week” may be made by UECT.
Such a total cancellation would consequently result in a full refund to the participant of the registration fees and services listed on the registration form.
This refund will be issued within a maximum of 2 months following the last day originally scheduled for the “Week.”
In the event of a pandemic, UECT cannot be held liable for providing a last-minute refund of registration fees and services listed on the registration form if there are obligations—and failure to comply with those obligations—regarding:
• vaccination to travel to or move within the host country of the “Week”;
• providing a digital EU COVID certificate at the border checkpoint, issued by a government agency in the participant’s country.
In the event that a participant is quarantined at the “Week” venue or upon returning to their country of origin, the UECT cannot be held liable and will not grant any financial compensation.

8- Complaints: You have a period of fourteen clear days starting July 18, 2027, to exercise your right to file a complaint, providing justification for the reason and the harm suffered; complaints must be submitted exclusively electronically to info@uect.org 

9- Liability: The UECT and local organizers assume no obligation to safeguard or store personal property and disclaim all liability in the event of loss, theft, or damage to personal property, including participants’ bicycles and related accessories; such bicycles remain the sole responsibility of their owners.

10- 2027 Rates: Below is the table of registration fees for the 2027 SE UECT. Participants who complete their registration and make the corresponding payment by May 9, 2027, will benefit from the prices listed in the table below. After this date, prices will increase by €10 per person.

 Important Additional Information

≡ UECT Federal Campground

1- The organizers remind participants that UECT Federal Campgrounds are temporary campgrounds and, as such, cannot offer the same level of accommodations and amenities as private campgrounds.

3- No access will be permitted or accepted to the various UECT Federal Campsites before Friday, July 9, 2027, at 2:00 p.m.

4- Camping WITHOUT Electricity Areas:

The UECT did not maintain the paid supply of individual electrical hook-ups for motorhomes, caravans and tents, as the local organisers offered a tariff of €166 per hook-up, covering both the temporary Installation and consumption.

a) The UECT Federal Campground, located near the information desk at the Jura-Sport Sports Center  in Saignelégier, will be organized into four distinct zones as follows:

• 3 zones for motorhomes and caravans: with a total capacity of 335 pitches, most of which are on grassy meadows, and others on gravel or asphalt.
• 1 zone tent  with a capacity of 112 pitches, planned on grassy meadows.

b) Sanitary facilities: Each zone is equipped with blocks containing toilets, a potable water point, sinks for dishwashing, basins for laundry, and a disposal point for chemical toilet waste (black water). Showers—available as either communal or individual units—are located within the Jura-Sport Sports Center.

c) Due to logistical constraints, it will not be possible to accommodate the following side-by-side

• motorhomes and caravans nor tents  with tents, as the tent zone is not accessible to motorhomes and caravans nor tents with motorhomes and caravans, as the Pitch zone are not located in the same places.

d) At the permanence, 300 electrical connections are provided for the paid supply of recharging electric assistance bicycle batteries, as well as for sleep apnea assistance batteries.

Booking options will close as soon as the quotas for pitchs capacity and electric battery charging have been reached.

e) Motorhomes with trailers must notify the UECT by email at info@uect.org, indicating their reference file number.

f) Grouping clubs or people on the UECT Federal Campsites: For club or interest-based gatherings at UECT campsite locations, please send an email by May 23, 2027, at the latest, to info@uect.org, indicating your reference file number and the reference file number of the other person; requests will be accommodated to the extent possible and subject to logistical constraints, as indicated in paragraph c) above.
