Mostly good gravel roads and solid tracks with moderate climbing. A relaxed pace, with time to arrive safely and enjoy the ride.
Who it's for
Riders with reasonable base fitness who are used to 3–5 hour rides. You might be new to gravel but comfortable on a bike and ready for longer days in the saddle.
Terrain
Mostly smooth, firm gravel, forest roads and gentle tracks, with the occasional rough section.
Skills
Basic gravel-bike control is enough. Short loose passages occur, but route choice and pacing accommodate everyone.
Bike & equipment
Gravel bike with 35–45 mm tyres. Tubeless recommended but not essential.
Steeper terrain, longer days and more varied surfaces — gravel roads, forest tracks and short sections of singletrack, including some raw backcountry.
Who it's for
Riders with a few gravel seasons (or a road/MTB background), who train regularly and are at home on long days. You handle loose surfaces confidently and enjoy technical climbs and descents.
Terrain
Gravel roads, forest tracks, hardpack, rougher gravel and short singletrack. Some routes include sand, stones and uneven passages.
Skills
Confident bike control on loose surfaces, controlled braking on descents, and the endurance and focus to hold it together over many hours. No extreme MTB elements.
Bike & equipment
Gravel bike with 40–45 mm tyres. Tubeless strongly recommended for thorns and sharp stones; low gearing helps in the hills.
A good benchmark for either level: you can comfortably ride 70–80 km with 1,000–1,200 m of climbing and still have energy for the evening. Want a second opinion? Get in touch — we'll be honest about which tour suits you.
Stay in the loop
New routes, trip reports and quiet-season departure alerts — before anyone else. No spam, just the good gravel.
Thanks — you're on the list.
