HIGHLIGHTS

Sella Ronda

THE SELLA RONDA

A must for anyone riding in the Dolomites, this 50 km loop promises mind-blowing views across the four climbs of the Campolongo, Gardena, Pordoi and Sella.

Passo Stelvio

PASSO STELVIO

The Stelvio needs little introduction. At an elevation of 2,757 m the Stelvio is the second highest pass in the Alps and links Bormio in the south to Prato & Switzerland. A regular feature of the Giro D’Italia, the Stelvio is notorious for its 48 hairpins.

Passo Gavia

PASSO GAVIA

The Passo Gavia has it all: stunning scenery, narrow tarmac, a pitch black tunnel and an illustrious cycling history. In 1988 Andy Hampsten battled apolcalyptic conditions crossing the snowy pass to take the Giro lead and cement the Gavia’s place in cycling legend.

Strade Bianche Italy

STRADE BIANCHE

The white gravel roads of Tuscany play host to the world-tour race every March. The race starts and finishes in the Tuscan city of Siena.

Italian Lakes

THE LAKES

The lakes region in northern Italy are the playground of the rich and famous and for cyclists too! Lake Garda & Lake Como are just two of a stunning network which must be visited.

Shakespeare's balcony

ROMEO & JULIET

Shakespeare's balcony is in the city of Verona and is a symbol of romance & tragedy, and the perfect place to finish a beautiful cycling adventure!
