For each of our holidays you should at least have the basic skills of cycling. Also an average physical condition is required. You must be able to cycle 50 km/31,25 miles per day. Our cycling tours are not suitable for people with limited mobility.
Below are the five levels we use to indicate the difficulty of our trips to prevent any future surprises. Are you unsure about the level that is right for you? Our professional sales department will help you find your way.
Most cycling holidays we offer are cycling level 1 or 2. These holidays are appropriate for anyone with average physical condition and basic cycling skills (see above).
The length of the stage, the altitude and climate determine the level of your trip. On a hotel-based tour you can choose whether you are going to cycle each day or not. On a round tour the cycle days are fixed. That also is a factor to keep in mind.
(1 km = 0.62 miles)
The lightest cycling holiday; over mostly flat terrain, with not too long daily distances (average 50 km). Short steep slopes with height differences of up to ± 100 meters occur.
Not too steep and not too long slopes on not very difficult terrain. The daily distances are sometimes a bit longer, up to approx. 60 km per day
Distance: 45 - 75 km average per day
Altitude meters: 500 - 800 altitude meters per day on average
Now and then longer and steeper slopes without being predominant. Short stages can include more climbing.
