Our bestselling cycle tours in Italy

The Dolce Vita is just a pedal stroke away

South Tyrol

South Tyrol, the autonomous region of Italy, combines the best features of Austria and Italy. This unique blend may be what attracts so many visitors. That’s exactly why a large number of our most popular cycling tours start or end in South Tyrol.

North or South – Lake Garda is always wonderful!

Veneto

Veneto is a particularly interesting area, home to famous cities such as Verona, Venice, Padua, Treviso and Vicenza. But this beautiful region isn’t only famous for city tourism. Veneto is an important winegrowing region. The favourite drink of millions worldwide comes from this region – Prosecco. Where this wine is grown, there are also picturesque vineyards and dreamy hills, the perfect landscape for unforgettable cycling!

Piedmont

Piedmont – it’s unknown to many and perhaps even underestimated, but it has a lot to offer! For foodies this region has long been one of Italy’s hidden gems. Die-hard Piedmont fans are of the opinion that you have never truly experienced Italy if you have never seen the flourishing rice fields of risotto rice, caught a breath taking view over the Barolo area and drank a glass of heavy red wine while enjoying the truffle delicacies the chefs of Piedmont have created.

Tuscany

There’s a reason why Tuscany attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world every year – that image you paint of Italy in your head is definitely of Tuscany. But it is not only the beautiful landscape that is responsible for the popularity of the region. Centuries of culture, fantastic food, atmosphere, unmistakable fashion, outstanding wines and stunning cities do their part to make Tuscany the number one region in Italy.

Umbria

Umbria – the heart of Italy and the only region that is not bordering either the sea or another country! It’s no wonder Umbria is also known as the green heart of Italy. The region is known for its lush green hills and unspoiled valleys and mountain landscapes.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia

The region in northern Italy stole the heart of the Habsburgs. There’s a reason that many monarchs chose to have their summer residence in nearby Trieste. Today, the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region is one of the favourite holiday destinations of Germany and Austrian holidaymakers. But Friuli not only impresses summer tourists, it also has a lot to offer us cyclists.

Italy's Climate

The climate in Italy offers something for everyone: from the mild mountain climate in South Tyrol, to the subtropical climate in Calabria! The Italian Alps are characterised by very cold winders, so our transalpine cycle tours start in the late spring months. A little further south, in the foothills of the Alps from South Tyrol to Lake Garda, there is a much milder climate. If you go a little further south still, after Liguria, Veneto or Piedmont, you will encounter the typical Mediterranean climate. It gets hotter in southern Italy as you travel to Tuscany, Calabria, Sicily or Sardinia. But luckily only in summer. In spring, we benefit from pleasantly warm temperatures! Perfect for a cycle tour!

Italy's Cuisine

The variety of Italian cuisine knows no bounds. Each region offers us not just one or two, but a whole range of wonderful dishes. Perhaps you like the hearty cuisine of South Tyrol, which is similar to that in Austria. Or do you rather prefer the fantastic dishes that Piedmont’s cooks conjure up with their famous truffles and typical Arborio risotto rice? Not to mention the delicious fish and seafood from Liguria, Veneto or Tuscany. No matter which region of Italy you speak about, each one can offer its own very special cuisine
