Itinerary

See the day-by-day itinerary below.

When checking in at the hotel you will receive a welcome package with route descriptions and maps, and the bikes will be be handed to you. 

Your first cycling stage takes you through the picturesque, gently rolling countryside surrounding Marostica. After a gradual ascent, you are rewarded with magnificent views across the region. Along the way, the area’s many cherry trees add colour to the landscape—and during the right season, perhaps even provide a sweet little energy boost.

A lovely lunch awaits you at Trattoria Caissa in Marostica. This atmospheric medieval town is especially famous for its spectacular living chess match. Once you have enjoyed the local flavours and historic surroundings, an easy and pleasant ride leads you back to the hotel.

Today’s cycling stage begins at a relaxed pace as you make your way towards Asolo. Before arriving in this idyllic village with roots dating back to Roman times, a longer ascent awaits. Once at the top, you can enjoy a well-earned break before continuing through the gently rolling countryside.

Your destination is Bassano del Grappa, where you will visit the Poli Grappa Museum and enjoy a tasting of the famous local spirit. You can also admire the town’s iconic covered wooden bridge, which crosses the River Brenta and traces its history back to the 13th century.

Today’s route combines beautiful scenery with impressive architecture. You will cycle at a leisurely pace through the Brenta Nature Park, giving you plenty of time to enjoy its peaceful surroundings and varied landscapes.

One of the day’s highlights is Villa Contarini, a magnificent example of classic Venetian villa architecture. After your visit, you will follow the River Brenta through the picturesque countryside on your way back to the hotel.

Today’s route leads you through flat countryside, where quiet roads wind past expansive fields of maize. Your destination is Vicenza, a city renowned for the architectural masterpieces of Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio.

Take time to discover landmarks such as the Basilica Palladiana, Teatro Olimpico and the city’s magnificent palaces. Together, these impressive buildings create the refined and distinctive atmosphere that makes Vicenza so memorable.

Today’s ride takes you into the scenic wine country around Breganze, where more than 2,000 winegrowers produce acclaimed DOC-classified red and white wines. As you cycle through the gently rolling hills, you will have the chance to sample celebrated varieties such as Cabernet and Pinot Bianco.

After the tasting, the route leads you back to your accommodation through a peaceful landscape of lush vineyards—the perfect setting for a relaxed end to the day’s cycling.

After breakfast you will be checking out of the hotel for departure.

Spring (March to May): In spring, the weather from Torino to Alba, Asti, and Barolo is mild and pleasant. Temperatures typically range from 10-20°C. March can be cool with some rain, but as April and May progress, it becomes warmer and sunnier. The countryside starts to bloom, and the vineyards begin to green, creating beautiful landscapes for cycling.

High Summer (June to August): High summer brings warm weather with temperatures often between 25-35°C. It can get very hot in July and August, with minimal rainfall during this period. The sun shines almost every day, providing excellent conditions for a cycling holiday, but it's important to stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade. Evenings tend to be cooler, offering a pleasant end to the day.

Autumn (September to October): Autumn is an ideal time for cycling in this region, with temperatures ranging from 15-25°C. The weather is stable and mild, and the vineyards are stunning with their golden and red hues. September is generally drier, while October may have more rainy days. This is also the harvest season for grapes, so the area is lively with activity, and the aroma of wine production fills the air.

After booking this trip, you get access to various discount schemes.

We recommend taking out travel insurance that covers at least illness, accident, repatriation, lost holiday, luggage and liability. As a customer, you are responsible for taking out the necessary travel insurance to cover these costs.

When you book a trip with us, we plant a tree in Kenya.

Bering Travel partners with Growing Trees Network, which has been planting trees in Kenya since 2020 in collaboration with Seniorer uden Grænser (Seniors Without Borders). The trees are planted with small-scale local farmers in the Mount Kenya region, as well as at schools, where the fruit helps supplement students’ diets and is incorporated into their learning.

The trees are planted using the shamba method – a sustainable approach that combines reforestation with agricultural crops. This keeps the soil covered with vegetation throughout the year, helping to prevent nutrient loss and reduce erosion.

The contribution to tree planting comes directly from Bering Travel’s own earnings and is not added to the price of your trip.

This initiative is not intended as a carbon offset for travel, but as a way to make a positive contribution.
