Adventure just a bike ride away
According to IATA, the amount of air traffic in 2017 attained 4 billion travelers. But airplanes remain costly and extremely polluting. “Short-cycle” tourism has a bright future ahead! The bicycle is the perfect partner. However, a trip by bike can mean logistical headaches, discomfort and athletic endeavors.
How can we come up with a bike trip which combines a change of scenery and comfort while preserving the environment?

Various itineraries are proposed. Along the road, great places to eat or sleep, comfy beds and magnificent viewpoints meander by!
