    • Explore!OperatorWritten August 2025

      We create bookings in twin share rooms but are able to put in a request for double bedding wherever possible, this will be dependent on availability of course. Your rooms will have ensuites. The start hotel is called the Residence Flora in Merano - Via 30 Aprile, 2, Merano, 39012 Italy. This tour includes 7 breakfasts, all other meals are your own arrangements. I am afraid I don't have the information available to me about the voltage of the power points in each of the rooms but if you decide to go ahead with this tour, we can reach out to the properties for you.

    Mike

    Asked on August 3rd, 2025

    first, was is the trips's riding rating - from easy to moderate to difficult or from 1 easy to 5 difficult? Second, what is the usual average rate of speed for the ride? If answered very quickly, I can decide to join or not.

    Tour Details
    • Explore!OperatorWritten August 2025

      We've graded the cycling on this tour as leisurely. While you don't have to be a pro to take part, you should have a basic level of fitness and enjoy being in the saddle. On one day there is a moderate grade ride, but it can be shortened significantly, lowering its grade to leisurely. On this tour we cycle 189 km/117.4 miles over five days (an average of 38 km/23.6 miles per day) with optional extra 24 km/14.9 miles cycling. The terrain is virtually all on tarmac and 90% of the route is on dedicated cycle paths. We encounter traffic for short sections at the end of day 6. The route is generally a gentle descent with flat sections and occasional ascents; with a few steeper inclines on days 4, 5 and 6. The Explore Leader will cycle with the group every day and luggage is transported between hotels. We have graded the route as Leisurely.

You will need to bring your own helmet as one will not be provided. You can bring your own saddle if you wish. The luggage will be transported to each hotel in the support van.

      TravelerWritten July 2024

      Can you please advise if there are any rental helmet options? As the pax will be doing other travelling outside this tour and doesn't want to bring a helmet. Additionally, is this tour hard at times and would you recommend an ebike?

    • Explore!OperatorWritten July 2024

      We unfortunately do not offer cycle hire for any of our trips, this is because we simply cannot guarantee the previous use and safety of hire helmets. This trip is graded leisurely, but an e-bike is available to rent for an additional cost.
