What aspects about my racing bicycle should I consider beforehand?

We strongly recommend letting a retailer check your racing bicycle before the event. Further, we advise you to rely on your usually used material so that you hopefully do not have to experience any unexpected surprises.

What should I have with me at the individual stages?

We strongly recommend taking the following things with you (maybe in a daypack):

warm clothes (arm warmers or a fleece pullover) rain protection (cagoule, rain trousers) survival blanket tools money / ID card Roadbook with emergency phone numbers (you will receive it at the accreditation) a small “first aid kit” participant ID replacement hose and bicycle tire inflator mobile phone

What do I need for the accommodation in the camp?

For each participant who has booked the camp a sleeping place will be provided for 8 nights. Each participant must bring his/her own sleeping bag and sleeping mat.

Do I need a bike box?

The bike box transport from the start to the finish is only meant for those cyclists who will go home directly from the finish. Those cyclists who have booked the return transportation do not need any bike box, since the racing bikes will be packed securely to ensure a safe transport.

How, where and when can I enter my hotel data for the luggage transport?

Three weeks before the start of the event, all participants will receive an e-mail from us with a link to the query portal. All hotel data must then be entered there carefully for each individual stage location.

If an accommodation package has been booked through HOST GmbH, it's only necessary to tell us that. HOST GmbH will transmit the hotel data to us.

Can I travel with my caravan?

The participants can go to public camping sites in every stage town; camping site fees are charged.

What's the best way to book a hotel room?

On our homepage you will find the contact details of the individual stage locations by the end of January, which you can use for hotel bookings. Please note that some hotels do not accept hotel bookings for one night this far in advance. For example, some hotels only accept bookings from the end of March/beginning of April. From the experience of the last years we know that the stage locations are optimally prepared for the event and that there are enough rooms for all participants. You still have the possibility to book your hotel room in the respective finish area directly on site. You can also book a complete hotel accommodation package through our service partner HOST.

Are the finisher tricots rather small or large?

The individual sizes of the tricots each correspond to the size of the normal race shirts.

How and when do I get the GPS data for the BIKE Transalp?

You will receive an e-mail during the last week before the event. This e-mail will lead you to the GPS data. Beyond that, there will be a stand at the accreditation where you can directly get the GPS data played onto your GPS device.

If your bag is not at the reception by 6:30 am, then you must bring your bag to the stand “hotel bags” near the start/finishing area no later than 7:15 am.

Those participants who are accommodated in the camp will get their bags placed close to their sleeping places and can pick them up directly. Every participant must then bring his/her bag to an extra designated site “truck camping bags” between 06:30 am to 07:30 am (at the latest).
