What’s better than biking through the Alps? Biking through the Alps and Tuscany. This trip has both, with Aosta serving up the high-octane adventure, and Tuscany bringing the dolce vita vibes. One moment we’re bombing down the Becca Trail; the next, we’re sipping vino with views of rolling hills. Tuscany’s Monte Calvi might have trails smoother than an Italian pickup line, but hey, that’s part of the charm. Chairlifts, shuttles, wine tastings, and even a beachside cooldown—it’s biking meets La Dolce Vita, with a touch of history and enough enduro to make anyone feel like a champ!
The Alps-Tuscany bike tour is where adrenaline meets La Dolce Vita. We’ll start in Aosta, riding world-class trails with chairlift assistance and jaw-dropping alpine views. Then, we’re shifting gears to Tuscany, where golden vineyards, historic fortresses, and coastal descents set the stage. With four days of biking and stops for wine tastings, Mediterranean dips, and ancient landmarks, this week-long tour is Italy’s best, served on two wheels.
After a transfer from the Milan airport to Aosta, you’ll arrive at your hotel in the heart of Aosta, just steps away from all the action. The accommodation that your guides selected is situated right in the town center, and it has been lovingly renovated. With secure bike storage and tools available on site, it has everything we might need for a perfect mountain bike tour in the Aosta Valley.
