Please Note

  • Important Information & Requirements:Physical Fitness & Skill: This program is built for active cyclists accustomed to continuous high-gradient climbs and fast-paced descents. Daily rides range from 42 km up to 80 km.
  • Extreme Mountain Climates: While coastal zones are mild (14°C to 18°C), our high-mountain routes (up to 2,000m+) can drop below 0°C, and fast descents cause rapid wind chill.
  • Mandatory Cycling Apparel: Due to cold high-altitude descents, you must bring windproof outer shells, full-finger gloves, and shoe covers.
  • Mechanical Readiness: If you are bringing your own bike, ensure it is in perfect working order with appropriate gear ratios for steep climbs. Muddy mountain trails can wear down brakes quickly; S4H support vehicles carry spare pads, but having your bike serviced before arrival is highly recommended.
  • Plan B Route Changes: Safety is our priority. If high-altitude passes (like Saklıkent) are blocked by snow or black ice, alternative routes in lower pine forest zones will be used.
