Overview

Embark on an unforgettable seven-day cycling adventure through the majestic Italian Alps, where every climb tells a story and every descent feels like pure freedom. From the shimmering shores of Lake Como to the high mountain passes of Bormio, you’ll take on some of the most iconic routes in cycling history —the Ghisallo, Muro di Sormano, Stelvio, and Gavia. This trip is designed for experienced riders hungry for challenge and is all about big climbs, bold spirits, and unforgettable rewards. You’ll ride 1200+ meters of elevation each day, and still have time to relax in mountain spas, explore alpine villages, and share stories over incredible dinners. With premium Bianchi bikes, expert local guides, and a support van behind every turn, all you have to do is ride hard, eat well, and embrace the adventure.
