Confident mixed-surface riding. A compact schedule with several long stages — not a relaxed beginner's holiday.

Paved mountain corridors, gravel, broken asphalt, roadworks and high passes above 4,000 m. Final road choice depends on the weather.

Hotels and local homestays.

Ride leader, mechanic and a support 4x4 for luggage and spares.
