While our B-TOUR packages are focused on bringing you a mix of everything the country has got to offer in a perfect blend of climbing and rolling, our mountains tour series dubbed Elevation Nation skip the transitional parts and are focused on the resource Bosnia & Herzegovina has almost endless supply of – amazing mountain climbs!
In fact, there are zero kilometers shared with the aforementioned B-HARD route, so even if you had done the complete 1200 km route – this will be a completely new experience of Bosnia & Herzegovina.
However, that doesn’t mean you will not get to see anything else in-between the rides. On the contrary – the Elevation Nation 1.0 tour is based around towns such as Mostar, Trebinje and Sarajevo and even pays a guest visit to Dubrovnik in Croatia and Herceg Novi in Montenegro, as a part of a special three-countries loop ride. Also, this tour features a ride with the best sightseeing point in B&H, as well as the ultimate mountain loop in Bosnia & Herzegovina – whoah!
Transfers between the stages are done by a support car, meaning the optimal amount of riders is our guide plus three riders. An additional support car can serve up to four additional riders.
This tour can be tailored to suit your stay in B&H but the ideal number of days to have at your disposal to do the full tour is 9 days (or alternatively 7, by stripping the last two stages) and it breaks down as follows:
1st day – arrival to Banja Luka, warmup ride if there’s time available, transfer to Stage 1
Stage 1: 160 km / 2500 m, transfer to Stage 2
Stage 2: 95 km / 1500 m, transfer to Stage 3
Stage 3: 145 km / 2500 m
Stage 4: 60 km / 900 m, transfer to Stage 5
Stage 5: 140 km / 3000 m
Stage 6: 100 km / 1500 m, transfer to Stage 7
