Trail condition
At the beginning, the route is characterised by gentle gradients throughout - on the Swiss section, however, there are still a few climbs. From Tyrol onwards, the tour is mostly flat, mainly on riverside paths, only short gravel stretches, otherwise asphalted. Not always ideal for racing cyclists - otherwise suitable for all types of cyclists. Due to its location, the route is not passable all year round. Depending on the altitude, winter sets in earlier or later.
