Welcome To Italy
Cycling
Difficult
Our goal is not to categorize your fitness level, but rather to provide you with an indication of the tour’s difficulty. This will enable you to select the appropriate tour, prepare yourself, and make the most of your cycling holiday.
Our
Intention
Our intention is not to classify your level of strength, but only to give you an indication of the difficulty of the proposed tour. Then, you will know how to choose the tour that is right for you and prepare yourself and make the best of your cycling holiday. In all cases, your guides will be cycling and hiking alongside of you, offering motivation and support. So at the end of the day we can say together: yes, we have done it!
Cycling and Hiking
Levels
Our cycling and hiking tours in Italy are designed to suit different levels of experience and fitness, from beginners to advanced riders and hikers. Each itinerary includes a clear description of the difficulty level, distance, elevation gain, and terrain, so you can easily choose the tour that best matches your abilities and expectations. Our experienced guides will accompany you throughout the journey, providing support, technical advice, and local insights to make your cycling holiday safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable.
Piano ( 1-3 )
For beginners
You love cycling but it’s not the only priority of your life. You love to hear about the places you pedal through, the history and heritage. These cycling routes will take you through cities known for their art and history, medieval castles and palaces. You can take your time, ride at your own pace, and enjoy what the area has to offer. Tours with level of difficulty Piano (softly/slowly) have 40-50 km average daily distance and will include easier or shorter climbs.
Moderato ( 4-6 )
For beginners and experts
You are out on your bike a couple of days a week and don't mind stepping out of your comfort zone. You don’t go flat out, but you enjoy steady climbs and medium to long distances. Tours with level Moderato (medium) will take you on 50-70km average daily rides, over some notable climbs and of course, sampling great food and wine along the way.
Veloce ( 7-9 )
For Expert
Biking has become a bigger part of your life, and you are out on your bike 4-5 days a week. You have completed some challenging rides, or multi day tours in the past. You are comfortable on technical descents and demanding climbs, but the time is not important. Once you have set yourself a goal, you are determined to finish it. Veloce (fast) tours involve about 80-100km average daily rides. On some days, rides will be shorter, from 50-60km. Most importantly, it's the climbing elevation that counts, from 1700m - 3000m daily.
Rapido ( 10 )
For Expert Challenger
You are an expert cyclist and always looking for your next challenge. You have the possibility to train and prepare. The distances and elevation level are the same as Veloce tours but you manage them a bit easier. Rapido tours would be ideally suited for a group of riders with the same level of fitness and speed, or could be custom made to suit likeminded cyclists.
