Abbiamo avuto l'opportunità di esplorare per una settimana le Alpi Vodesi in Svizzera per scoprire la zona e progettare un percorso ciclabile che potremo guidare in futuro. Questa parte delle Alpi è una delle più sconosciute, il che significa che ci sono molti meno turisti e l'esperienza in bicicletta…

Ciao Belen,
Sono un seguace dei tuoi percorsi, libri e canali Instagram, oltre che dei video di YouTube ;D
Grazie per averci ispirato!

Volevo chiedervi se questo percorso attraverso le Alpi Vodesi sarebbe fattibile su una bici gravel (senza motore ;D), o se ci sono molte discese complicate che renderebbero…

Ciao!

Direi che la MTB (o almeno la sospensione anteriore) è molto apprezzata. Ci sono parecchi tratti di ghiaia e asfalto, ma alcuni tratti di single track sono duri. Non sono troppi, quindi forse anche un'escursione in bicicletta sarebbe una buona soluzione. =)

Facci sapere se fai il giro! Curioso di conoscere i tuoi pensieri!

OK, grazie mille per la tua rapida risposta. Difficile decidere! ;-D

Ovviamente vi farò sapere se finalmente riuscirò ad andarci quest'estate.

Grazie ancora e buona fortuna con tutto il tuo ciclismo!
