Route Profiles is BikeTips’ collection of detailed guides to the rides every cyclist should ride at least once — from the iconic European climbs (Alpe d’Huez, Mont Ventoux, Stelvio) to multi-day bikepacking routes (the Great Divide, the GR-7, the GAP+C&O Towpath). Each profile covers the gradient, length, weather windows, services along the route, and the recommended bike setup. Browse by ride type below.
