Bikepacking setup.
Pack light, stay in budget hotels and forage lunch from cafés and supermarkets.
100-190km a day in the Alps for 11 days.
Just finished Venice - Geneva last week. Also done the Route des Grande Alpes (Geneva - Nice) on basically the same setup 2 years ago.
Flew to Venice airport with the bike in a standard cardboard bike box which then got ditched at the airport, literally rode straight into Geneva airport where I bought a box and packed the bike there and then right before checking in.
