Tour provider's comments

This MTB adventure is suitable for riders with good fitness levels and previous off-road cycling experience, as it includes long uphill sections, gravel roads, and a total elevation gain of around 1,374 meters. The shuttle option reduces the initial climb, but participants should still be prepared for a full-day ride with technical descents, varied terrain, and sustained physical effort.
