The whole route has been divided into
22 cycling stages with 5 rest days in Salzburg,
Innsbruck, Sankt Moritz, Andermatt and Interlaken. The
rest days in St. Moritz and Andermatt are planned in
a way that you can make an extra loop with some
well-known passes.
The cycling days have mostly the same schedule : a start
early in the morning and cycle the distance at own speed
to the next place. The daily distance depends on the
profile and the locations of suitable accommodation.
It's an average of around 95 kilometres per day.
The route follows paved, relatively quiet and scenic
mountains roads. We take in the valleys mostly marked
out cycling routes, which have sometimes a natural
underground and are well passable with a normal road
bike. Every day you can expect serious climbing with one
or more passes. Some long and gentle, others short and
painfully steep.
The average elevation gain is roughly 1.500 metres per
day.
Granny gears required.
At the start in Vienna you get an extensive tour guide
with background information about the route.
We advise you to bring a GPS which has the option to
upload files. It is a very helpful device to find the
correct way without looking at detailed maps or an
overload of instructions. |
