This trip offers a challenge without being extreme, making it ideal for cyclists who want to push their limits while still having time to relax and explore. Each day’s ride is carefully designed to allow plenty of time for discovery, giving you the freedom to enjoy the unique character of every town and landscape along the way.
Along the route, we’ll pause for leisurely lunch breaks in picturesque towns, where you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in local culture, savor authentic regional cuisine, and experience sights you won’t find on any tourist map. These off-the-beaten-path locations are what make this journey truly special — the kind of places you can only discover by bike.
Throughout the adventure, you’ll ride in comfort on your Bianchi rental bike — your trusty companion for this 500km crossing. Designed for performance and comfort, your Bianchi will help you maintain the perfect pace, allowing you to fully enjoy every moment of the ride.
