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.
Accommodation: Hotel in Aosta
Our first day on the bike focuses on the best natural trails in Pila, helping us get into the flow. We’ll use the chairlifts to reach high-altitude trails, enjoying breathtaking views and exhilarating descents. This day is all about building confidence and getting ready for the adventures ahead.
