Bicycling across Northern Italy
Unique bicycling programs designed for travelers age 50+!
Follow the Adige River Valley from the shadow of the Alps, through the Dolomites in Trentino, across Lake Garda and onto the plains of Veneto, a journey by bicycle that exposes you to Northern Italy at the pace of a true explorer, not a mere tourist. Accompanied by experts and other cyclists, ride to ancient Roman outposts, sprawling vineyards and great monuments of the German — and Italian — speaking worlds, stopping for local insights and perspectives on each treasure you encounter.
Each Bicycling Adventure includes:
- All lodgings & most meals

- Hands-on experiences & performances
- All gratuities
