Itinéraire

DAY of arrival (Saturday)

The stage may seem quite short but remember that more than 70% of the trip is above 3000m of altitude with two days at 4000m. As the air is finer you wil surely feel more tired than usual for the same riding distance. That is why we have made the stage regarding the riding altitude.
This itineray is given for your information and may be changed at the discretion of the guide depending on the weather conditions, physical ability of clients and the trail 'options' we decide together.
