energetic: Cycling

It’s not all about fast pace and strenuous climbs... Cycling is a great way to see the countryside, get close to nature and local culture as well as being an enjoyable form of exercise. But don’t worry if your fitness levels aren’t as good as they might be, it’s not all about fast pace and strenuous climbs. There is a gentler side to cycling too, where the pace is more sedate, the terrain less demanding and your bags are moved for you between hotels. So whether you prefer “King of the Mountains” or the more relaxed approach, there’s a holiday idea for you.
