This tour has difficulty grade 3.

Grade 3
Cycling requires at least a basic level of fitness, which you should have achieved by occasional or daily cycling. The routes take you easily up to an altitude of about 100-300 metres above sea level. You will cycle between 20 and 40 km each day through hilly and mountainous terrain. You will have plenty of time to complete each ride. Sometimes there will be steeper inclines, but of course it is okay to walk the bike over these if necessary. The roads are mostly paved and there is little traffic outside of holiday periods.
