Italy by bike

Italy, land of gastronomy and history

Does Italy, the land of la dolce vita, call to you? You're absolutely right! Every year, millions of tourists fall under the spell of the Big Boot. The country of Leonardo da Vinci boasts a wealth of historical, gastronomic, natural, and cultural treasures. In the land of espresso, people know how to take their time and enjoy life's little pleasures, usually in magical surroundings that will suit all your cycling needs!

From the agricultural plains of Piedmont to the fountains of eternal Rome, passing through coastal regions where buildings sparkle in the reflection of the Mediterranean, Italy has everything to please.

Step into the big boot

Italy is a country that is best discovered by bike. Between its seaside cycle paths and the peaks that have gone down in history during the many editions of the famous Giro d'Italia, there is something to satisfy all types of cyclists.
If you're traveling to push your limits, head for the Amalfi Coast with its combination of steep climbs and idyllic towns. If, on the other hand, your cycling trip is more about combining cycling with culinary pleasures, Piedmont, Tuscany, and Puglia will delight your senses while offering you exceptional itineraries.

In any case, you can't go wrong in the land of la dolce vita. With several itineraries built around stopover towns, you have complete freedom to plan your days according to the beauty of the landscape and your desires.
