Italy - the epitome of vacation, joie de vivre, and lightness of being. A cycling holiday in Italy lets you discover everything that has attracted people for centuries: Generations of painters have raved about the light, generations of scholars about art and history. People from all countries were drawn to Italy. They left behind such a wealth of cultural treasures that archaeologists almost despair.

In addition, you can marvel at the most diverse landscapes, while countless wines vie for your favor. Enjoy the charm of this country on your first or next cycle tour in Italy.

The South begins just beyond the Brenner Pass: you can smell it, you can taste it. You’re in Italy, and yet not quite there yet. The road signs are bilingual; the cuisine is shaped by two cultures. Tyrolean home cooking meets Italian sophistication. The Alpine peaks surround the warm valleys. Ideal conditions for a cycling holiday in South Tyrol: The cycle paths are well-developed and signposted, the hospitality is top-notch, and the food and drink are excellent. The landscape is stunning. No wonder, then, that South Tyrol is so popular – even with cycle tourists!

The classic cycling tour in Italy is undoubtedly the Adige Cycle Route from Innsbruck to Bolzano, which takes around a week. Even more popular is the cycle tour along the Adige from Bolzano to Venice.

The Dolomites are also particularly beautiful. You can explore them by bike without too much effort. The magnificent Dolomites circuit is suitable for the more athletic as well as for e-bike riders.

For many, Tuscany epitomises Italy. One thinks of Chianti, the cypress trees and, when it comes to cycling holidays, above all the rolling hills. But wait – on our cycling tour through Tuscany, the climbs are kept to a minimum! At the same time, this cycle tour takes you through an enchanting part of Italy.

Right at the southern tip of the ‘boot’, you’ll find curious white houses – the trulli of Apulia. Our cycling tour in Apulia takes you across the idyllic Salento peninsula. Olive groves, wheat fields and vineyards characterise the landscape – and, of course, the sea! Aimed more at slightly more experienced cycle holidaymakers, this cycling tour of Sicily offers Norman architecture, Greek temples, beautiful beaches, good food and warm-hearted people. The route takes you along quiet roads along the Sicilian coast. It’s well worth it!
