Overview

A spectacular 8-day journey from Lake Garda to the Dolomites, featuring historic Italian towns, bucket list climbs, and two Giro d'Italia stage viewings. After a warm up on the shores of the outdoor mecca of Lake Garda, the trip passes through the beautiful Valsugana Valley for the first Giro viewing. Then it's on to the Dolomites for an immersive experience of "queen" stage 19: Feltre - Piani di Pezzè. Go home with tired legs, a ton of dramatic photos, and countless memories. Viva il Giro!
