tour description
Veneto has always been one of the beating hearts of Italian cycling, producing champions, hosting unforgettable Giro stages, and offering a unique mix of flat plains, vineyard roads, and high mountain passes.
Over 10 days, this tour takes you through the region’s most iconic landscapes: the elegant Venetian mainland with its Renaissance villas, a boat trip in the heart of Venice, the city of Vicenza, home to Andrea Palladio’s masterpieces, the dramatic Dolomites with legendary Giro d’Italia climbs like Passo Pordoi, Sella, and Giau, and the rolling Prosecco hills leading up to the epic Monte Grappa and Asiago Plateau. Each area tells a story, from the grandeur of the Venice Republic to the battlefields of the 20th century, making every ride a journey through both sport and history.
Every ride here captures the essence of the sport, from quiet riverbank lanes to the legendary Dolomite switchbacks.
Your experience will be carefully balanced between challenging rides and cultural immersion. You’ll cycle across the Venetian mainland, through alpine valleys, and among vineyards where Prosecco has been crafted for generations, riding a mix of roads that are truly unique in the world. The highlights of the trip include riding the most iconic climbs of the Dolomites, exploring the Prosecco hills and historic towns of Veneto, and experiencing the Giro d’Italia live across two decisive stages, including the queen stage in the Dolomites, where the battle for the Maglia Rosa comes to life on these legendary roads.
Throughout the journey, you’ll also enjoy the richness of Venetian culture, whether through visits to historic towns like Treviso, Asolo, andBassano del Grappa, or over meals shared in local osterie and wineries. Each day combines the thrill of cycling with the warmth of Italian hospitality, creating a complete experience both on and off the bike.
