TOUR GRADES
We use a simple grading system to give you an idea of the level of fitness and riding/hiking experience required for each tour.
The grading system begins with Easy, which represents our easiest tours with short distances and few elevation gain, and goes up to Extreme, the most challenging tours, requiring a substantial amount of fitness and willpower!
Our easiest tours are particularly recommended for newcomers and for families. Short distances on flat terrain, no notable hills or anything of steep gradient (2 to 3 hours per day).
A typical stage would be
Hiking: 5 to 10km
Hybrid Cycling: 15 to 25km, low ascent
Road Cycling: 20 to 30km, low ascent
Leisure tours will suit those who have some experience and average fitness through regular exercise. You can find some hills, possible short gradients of low percents (3 to 4 hours per day).
