Cyclists can choose between two routes of different distances; the longest has 146 km with 3,780 meters of elevation gain while the shortest is 100 km with 2,581 meters of elevation gain.
Both routes will be perfectly signposted and prepared, offering challenges and impressive views for all tastes.
