Tour Profile:

Riding days are designed for 6 hours of net riding time. For tour days spanning well over 300 km/day, there may be segments of faster highway/Autobahn sections integrated into the route to efficiently cover ground and maximize the exploration of key highlights within the designated timeframe.

On these longer tour days, I have also mapped out shorter alternative routes, allowing a reduction of the distance traveled while ensuring the riding time remains reasonable for the day.

Required Skill Level:

Riders should be proficient on winding roads, especially in hairpin turns, and comfortable passing slower vehicles on high alpine roads. This tour is tailored for ambitious riders with the stamina to cover up to 300 km on winding alpine roads. Riding days will take 6-7hours of net riding time.
