Italy is a countrythat’s revered around the world: fantastic food, Mediterranean climate, even more fantastic food and incredibly diverse landscapes. With high mountains, idyllic villages, deep blue lakes, rugged cliffs and goldenbeaches – Italy has it all.
The country is popular with cyclists for good reason. Where else in Europe can you race down the mountains with a view of the sea and finish at a gorgous sandy beach? Where else can you jump into turquoise water and feel like you're in the Caribbean? And where else can you enjoy the finest food in a rustic trattoria, just like nonna (grandma) makes it?
In this Collection, we show you 15 spectacular cycling Tours across Italy, so you can enjoy the best of the different regions. Whether you're on a road bike, gravel bike, touring bike or mountain bike – in Italy there are ideal trails and paths for every cyclist. In Lombardy, for example, road cycling is hugelypopulart; in Sardinia, roads with little traffic wind along the coast; in Liguria, mountain bikers meet every year at the beginning of the season. And with a touring bike, you'll find wonderful paths everywhere that lead you through Italy's fantastic landscape.
For this reason, we’ve collected a wide variety of cycling Tours in our ‘best of’ Collection; from challenging mountain rides in South Tyrol to enjoyable forays along the Ionian Sea. The routes all have one thing in common: they show you the most beautiful corners of Italy and guarantee you lots of cycling fun.
As you can see, it's worth packing your bike for your next holiday in Italy. On two wheels and with your own muscle power, you can enjoy la dolce vita – and the pizza tastes even better afterwards.
