OUR ITINERARIES
2
Italy by bike will be a real surprise for you: we are firmly
persuaded, on the base of our personal experience, that
cycling is the best way to discover what this beatiful land
has to offer.
Let’s start with Piedmont, our region, the one we know
better: “Magic charm of Turin”, “Along the Po river”,
“Piedmont” and “Cuneo, flavours and colours”are pleasant
itineraries almost always surrounded by the magnificent
sight of Alps along the routes marked by the Province of Turin (“Ciclostrade”), following the traces
of the royal dynasty who made the history of Italy:
Savoia. If you prefer something more difficult,
you can choose the beautiful hills of Langhe and
Monferrato, up and down among some of the most
famous vineyards of Italy, producing excellent wines like
B ar o l o, B a r b e ra , D o lcett o. O t he r e x t ra o rd i n a r y
experiences are the tours “Coming to Venezia”, from the
Alps in Trentino to the Adriatic Sea, and “Around Siena”,
a full immersion in the wonderful landscapes of Tuscany,
and Via Appia, from Rome to Bari. If you like the sea,
don’t miss the mediterranean atmosphere and the
warmth of Puglia or Liguria and its Riviera dei Fiori.
Unforgettable also the experience of “Along the Po river”
from Pavia to Ferrara and “Wines of Franciacorta”. Last
but not least, the Sicily, with the sun every year. Anything
you are going to choose, we wish you a very nice cycling
trip!

hotel; our hotels are carefully selected. During the tour

Tasty Piedmont
Piedmont is a real paradise for gourmets. Prestigious white wines,
delicious chocolate and a sweet landscape of hills covered by regular
rows of wineyards; in the distance the majestic circle of the alps.
Piedmont is elegance and style.The best example is the chef town ,
Turin, first capital of Italy 150 years ago, where the influence of the
french style is very evident, that’s why Turin is called “little Paris”.

The pilgrims route
To run trough by bike one of the ways followed by the pilgrims
toward Rome looking for the traces of ancient times: this is what
wait those who will chose this journey rich of surprises and various
and mutable landscapes; from the superb circle of the Alps which
surround Aosta, elegant and noble city rich of Romans ruins, to
the hills and morainics lakes in the zone of Ivrea with its Serra,
unique phenomenon in Italy, from the rice fields of Vercelli,
peopled with birds, to the gently
plains of Lomellina where stands
Vigevano with its splendid square,
from the fluvial ambient of Ticino
Park, for who loves nature, to come
in the end to Pavia, with its
Chartreuse plunged in the green
land of Lombardy.
Lakes of Lombardy
Lombardia
This itinerary for tourist cycling runs from east to west mainly in
the hilly areas south of the big Alpine lakes in the Lombard region.

to the main international tourist cycling routes, the beautiful nature of the areas and the rich artistic sights make this route
