After all, you don’t leave exclusively to cycle up the mountain. Because the many sights and picturesque villages in the region around it guarantee a very pleasant stay. And you can fully enjoy this before and after reaching the top.

The very colorful guidebook prepares you optimally for what you will see on the way up the mountain. The profiles are also indicated. A good trail knowledge is indispensable.
