Tour Highlights

We depart Milan for Lago di Como - it’s leisurely cycling to warm up along the lake shore, dotted with charming villages and hemmed in by steep verdant hillsides. We conquer the Madonna del Ghisallo climb and stay in charming Bellagio.

Climb the epic Stelvio pass! Made famous for being the second highest paved mountain pass in the Alps, it is a 21.5km climb from the Bormio (where we stay 2 nights) to reach an altitude of 2758m. The pass itself is breathtaking - surrounded by glaciers, snowcapped peaks and the whistling of the elusive marmot!

The incredible food and wine! Gastronomy is a passion of ours and throughout the Tour we will taste the local specialities, take you to our favourite restaurants, do a prosecco tasting and indulge in La Dolce Vita! We ride through apple groves, vineyards and enjoy Aperol Spritz in beautiful piazzas in the evenings.

Spend 3 nights in the Dolomites! Conquer the iconic “Sella Ronda”. It’s a cyclist’s paradise! You may also like to relax or take a day off the bike - take a ride in a cable car and enjoy a walk high up in the Dolomites to a refugi for an unforgettable lunch with a view.
