Transalp Tegernsee Kalterer See Etappe 1

Even though the route for crossing the Alps is quite gently laid out, a good trekking bike with mountain-worthy gearing and three chainrings at the front is absolutely necessary. Since weather changes can occur quickly in the mountains, you should pack not only good rain gear but also long and short functional clothing in your day pack. A windbreaker vest for long descents is also advantageous.
