Route & Terrain Notes

The hiking terrain on this trip is on dirt paths through Alpine meadows, gravel access roads and rocky mountain trails that include steep ascents and descents, uneven terrain and occasional narrow and exposed sections. Gondolas are used where possible to access Alpine hiking. Biking routes follow both paved and gravel bikes paths. Biking terrain is mostly level to rolling, but there are a few short, steep uphills and downhills on gravel terrain (some guests opt to walk their bikes on these sections). To accommodate riding in this environment, we use a different fleet of bikes created specifically for cycling on variable surfaces.
