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.
Choose your adventure: a relaxed ride through the scenic Valsugana Valley, a challenging ascent of the iconic Monte Grappa, or a loop through the Asolo Hills to Possagno, the birthplace of the renowned sculptor Canova.
Spend the evening wandering the streets of Bassano and savoring cicchetti, the local small-plate delicacies.
Begin at the iconic Ponte degli Alpini in Bassano, then ride to Marostica, famous for its chessboard piazza. Skirt the edge of the Asiago Plateau, choosing either a flatter route directly to the UNESCO city of Vicenza or tackling hillier terrain in the Alto Vicentino before descending to the city.
Cycle through Vicenza, home to Campagnolo components, Palladian architecture, and incredible cycling routes. Explore the Berici Hills south of town, with options ranging from a flat ride along the hills’ edge with views of Palladian villas to a more ambitious loop covering both the Berici and Euganei Hills. After your ride, wander Vicenza’s beautiful squares and streets, known for their jewelry shops and rich history.
