On arrival at the airport you will be met by one of our friendly staff and transferred (heading East) towards the southerly tip of Lake Garda. Desenzano is rightly considered to be one of the jewels in the crown of Lake Garda. Hotel Palace the perfect place to ride from, relax and unwind after long travel.

For those hiring bikes, we will be available to do a bike fit and make any adjustments that may be necessary. Fitting pedals, lights, saddles etc. is our job and not yours! In the late afternoon we will head off on our first ride along the western part of Lake Garda. Our destination is San Felice, a small fishing town which overlooks Sirmione. This beautiful ride is the perfect start to your trip.

Lake Iseo | Hotel Araba Fenice | Pilzone

Ride: 55km | Rolling

Breakfast overlooking Lake Iseo and free time in the morning to explore the market in Iseo town center. A chance to observe Italian life, unspoilt by mass tourism and retaining a so much of what is good about life. A life so many of us crave in busy, over-scheduled, and hectic lives. Iseo is famous for the first statue of Garibaldi being erected near the turn of the 1900’s. It is also steeped in history related to WW1 and the Roman Empire.

Today’s ride is stunning. We head south away from Iseo into the wine region of Franciacorta. It is difficult to imagine two contrasting areas to cycle (Lake Iseo and Franciacorta). Within 10 minutes we leave the shores of the lake and wind our way through endless vineyards, boasting some of the most famous names in Italian wine production. A visit to our favourite canteen at Barone Pizzini coupled with laughter at Barbar Santa Gulia makes this a day to remember.

Lake Como | Hotel Promessi Spos

Ride: 42km | Flat

This morning we take the transfer to our destination of the week in Lake Como. On the way we will stop in Bergamo Città Alta. Those in the know will already understand that this is a must when visiting Lombardia. With plenty of free time to explore and enjoy a lunch, this is a chance to push the pause button mid holiday.
