Cycling in the mountains – Top Video Tips

Many of our Ride25 routes pass through mountains – in particular our Geneva to Milan Leg 3 route. On this leg, we take in the famous Nufenen Pass – the highest pass in Switzerland. The first video below shows the route (as taken from a car) and highlights the incredible scenery – all the better seen by bike!

The other videos give very useful tips on how to climb and descend mountains.  Pour yourself a long cool drink and sit back and enjoy!
