Wales is most certainly not a flat country. Whilst we can't compete with the Alps or Pyrenees for alpine majesty, Welsh hills are numerous and appear often. There are 6 dedicated 'mountain stages', but all stages - with the exception of the first two and the last three - will involve running hilly or undulating courses. This is part of what makes the Castles so special.
