WHAT GOES ON TOUR…

How to plan your off-road route on Komoot

Use Komoot’s gravelspec­ific route planner.

Use waytypes and surface informatio­n to see exactly how much of your route is off-road, as well as the types of surface to expect.

Community-generated highlights are the key to great gravel riding. Click on the red dots on the map to see the best sections of road or trail (often with photos and tips) that can easily be added to your route.

Hold down the ‘m’ key on your keyboard to remove the blue tour line and see the type of track you’ll be riding. You can also do this using the Satellite map overlay to see what the trail or road looks like.

Steeper gradient climbs can be particular­ly challengin­g off-road, especially when riding the more technicall­y difficult trails. Use the Komoot interactiv­e elevation profile to see the exact gradient and trail difficulty (using the singletrac­k scale S1 to S5).

Komoot’s route warning will let you know when your planned route includes any restricted or unsuitable terrain, and when you’ll need to dismount – for example, if you have a short section of footpath included on your route.

Switch to the Open Cycle Map overlay to clearly see the bridleways (green dashed line) and footpaths (red dashed line).

Find a huge amount of inspiratio­n by browsing hundreds of multi-day routes on Komoot – komoot.com/ trip-create/collection/search

Use the Komoot Premium multi-day planner to:

• Split your route into the number of days you want to ride. Komoot keeps the riding time per day the same, taking into account distance, elevation, and the terrain.

• See accommodat­ion options, from campsites and huts to B&Bs and hotels, near the endpoint of your route each day and adjust your route to end (and start the next day) at your chosen accommodat­ion

• See contact details, Tripadviso­r and Yelp rating for accommodat­ion options (where available).
