I was more than satisfied and had a terrific time. The riding, routes, hotels, the Giro watching spots, dinner spots…all top notch. It felt very "bespoke" without being stuffy. Bob and Caterina and Puppers…Italy’s best hosts. I will return…Stelvio next!
"CyclingHero: really, the best cycling experience of my life, bar none."
"If you want to book a cycling trip in Italy in the Dolomites and Prosecco Hills region, then CyclingHero is the tour company for you! The personal touch and attention to detail will allow you to enjoy your vacation and experience the Italian culture."
"What a great trip! We were comfortable from start to finish with the itinerary, logistics, routes, directions, app, places to go post-ride, etc. What an experience. Across the board it was awesome and we are planning on taking another tour."
"This CyclingHero adventure was absolutely amazing - I saw parts of Italy that I'd never likely see during a normal tourist visit, all while doing what I love more than anything - cycling! The terrain was incredible, the vistas unforgettable, and the organizers are highly experienced, and thus have thought through all the fine details of a cycling adventure of this sort."
"Everything a cycling trip should be with a twist of technology!"
"What an incredible experience. High end, fantastic hotels, and incredible scenery. I love the concept. I'm not one for organized events with people that I don't know. There can be too much starting, stopping, waiting, and indecision when you have a group of different people of different abilities that don't know each other."
"The selection of hotels, bars and restaurants recommended were top notch, and the whole trip was delivered at a great price considering the high-end nature of the itinerary."
"Without a doubt, the CyclingHero tour was the best cycling week of my 20+ years of cycling. A real challenge, but perfectly curated, and with excellent support throughout the trip."
"The itinerary was very well thought out and rides built on each other, culminating in a spectacular climb of the Monte Grappa. A memorable experience - highly recommended!"
Day-to-Day Schedule
Depart from Treviso, with an optional visit to the Pinarello headquarters boutique store. Enjoy an easy ride through pastoral landscapes and charming villages toward the Montello, a favorite training ground for local cyclists.
Venture further into the Montello or head directly to the Asolo Hills to visit the picturesque hilltop town of Asolo before arriving in beautiful Bassano del Grappa.
Bassano de Grappa is a gateway to some exceptional riding on both sides of the Brenta river. Test your limits on the Monte Grappa, a climb steeped in history (and steep gradients), or explore the rolling hills of Asolo and Possagno. Alternatively, cross the historic Ponte degli Alpini bridge and explore the other bank of the Brenta river with a visit to medieval Marostica and the famous climbs of San Luca and La Rosina. Conclude with a stroll through Bassano’s lively streets and its abundance of wine bars and cosy restaurants.
It's time to head North and start getting into the spirit of the Race. From Bassano along the Valsugana, you can choose to add the beautiful Valstagna climb or just head towards your destination climbing up the so-called "Scalette di Primolano", what remains of the Roman Via Augusta route. You can also reach your destination over the Monte Grappa, if you dare. Spend the evening relaxing lake side.
It's time for an easy spin to Feltre to pick up your race number and enjoy the pre-race energy at the sign-on village. Have an espresso in the historical center of Feltre before returning on quiet roads for an early dinner and final preparations.
After an early breakfast, it's time for an easy spin back into Feltre to line up for the race. Whether you opt for the Medio- or Granfondo, the experience will be challenging and spectacular. Relax back at the hotel with celebratory drinks and dinner.
It's time to say ciao to the beautiful shores of the Arsiè lake and head back towards Venice. If you managed to do both the race and the Monte Grappa, you are a true mountain goat!
If you have decided to prolong your stay in Treviso, you have the option of returning by bike, as well. Otherwise, pack your bike and bask in the glory of your conquests on your way home.
