PLAN AROUND THE SEASONS
The best time for a cycling holiday depends on where you want to ride. Spring and autumn are often attractive for many mountain and countryside routes, while conditions at higher elevations can be cooler and more changeable. Lower regions and desert areas may experience intense heat, particularly during summer.
Altitude, route exposure, daily distance and the type of cycling all affect the best travel window. Rather than choosing dates based on one general rule, plan around the region and experience you want. We recommend checking expected conditions and preparing for temperature changes between valleys and mountain passes.

Make time for regional dishes, markets, traditional buildings and conversations along the route. These experiences add depth to a cycling holiday and help connect the landscapes you ride through with the people who call them home.
