Hey dear bikepacking enthusiasts,
I have a trip planned in 2 months going 1.700km from Lyon – Rome. I'll have around 5 weeks of time for everything, which would come down to 50km/day if i'd be riding every day. I aim to do 80+km/day, meaning i could have 10-12 days of rest and enjoy some cities/beatiful spots. A really rough first draft of the Route is attached down below, i will try to follow the Eurovelos (8+7.. or 5?!) in each country.
If you guys have some recommendations and tips about the Route, special places to make sure to visit and cities where it's especially worth it to stay a might – please tell me 🙂 I will be (wild) camping if that matters.
I'm a little afraid of the 12.000 metres of climbing. I should have enough training and experiences with long distance bikepacking tho. Appreciate if anyone wants to share his or her experiences!

I did Torino to Lyon last year. It was mostly very nice, except for a little traffic in one of the sections. In reverse, my itinerary was:
-Lyon
-Brangues (little town),
-Chambery (until here mostly using the via Rhona)
-Allemond – you can do the Col du Glandon and avoid the traffic to get here. I had to go through Grenoble because the pass was closed because of a rock slide
-Le Rosier – you go through the Col du Lautaret to get there
-Bruzolo – this is another climb to leave France.
-Torino
Good luck!
