Cycle the spectacular trails of the Alps to Ocean from Tekapo
Cycle, cosy up and relax on our special winter version of our popular 6 day Alps to Ocean Cycle.
Fresh, sunny days in winter are delight with snow capped mountain ranges and crisp blue skies contrasting against the turquoise lakes as we pedal our way from Tekapo to Oamaru.
This trip is as much about the comfort as it is about cycling. Should the weather change at any stage of the day, our support vehicle is there to take you to the comfort of a hot pool, mulled wine or warm fire. Hot water bottles and hand-warmers are never far away. Regular morning tea and afternoon tea stops provide a much welcomed 'pick-me-up' with all you can drink tea and coffee and plentiful snacks.
So why save cycling for summer? Keep going all year round and join us on this epic cycling adventure.
In the words of our guides, there's no such thing as cold weather, just bad gear.
