Itinerary
Following your arrival, we will transfer you (Approx. 30 mins) to the charming town of Treviso. With its meandering waterways and tranquil atmosphere, it’s an ideal starting point for your tour.
We’ll provide you with your road book and all of the information you will need for the duration of your trip, before we leave you to start your self-guided tour of Veneto. Depending on your arrival time, there should also be some time to explore the town before your evening meal in one of the town’s great restaurants.

- Meals: Breakfast
- Ascent: 300 Metres Approx.
A gentle start to your journey, leaving Treviso behind you’ll ride past fertile cultivated countryside towards the Montello hills that sit below the Piave River. This area was home to the deadly battles in 1918 during the Austria-Hungarian war, and a Majestic Military Memorial erected below the hill commemorates the event.
A detour will take you to the ruins of Sant’Eustachio Abbey before you embark on a great route in the foothills of the Montello. This is a classic ride for the locals, and you may find yourself enjoying the route with fellow Italian cyclists. The route follows a water course lined with trees which makes the cycling very enjoyable! On route to Asolo, you will admire the imposing Palladian Villa of Maser. Now part of UNESCO World Heritage, it’s one of the most admired works by Venetian architect Palladio.
Following a quick refuel, you’ll be ready for the only real climb of the day, the ride up to Asolo. Designated as one of the most beautiful towns in Italy due to its position on the top of the hill, Asolo has always attracted artists and writers from all over the world, including Robert Browning. Enjoying a drink in the main piazza and a walk around the town, the last section of your ride is a sweeping descent to your hotel.

- Meals: Breakfast
- Ascent: 200 Metres Approx.
Setting off from the foothills of Asolo, today’s ride will follow the cycle route of the Ezzelini to Castelfranco di Veneto, a lovely town rich with history, art and culture.
Medieval walls surround the castle and once through the walls, cycling through its streets, you can admire important squares, wonderful frescoes on the façades of the palaces, churches and antique cloisters.
From here, you can take the longer option and ride along country lanes to Bassano del Grappa, or for more time in both towns, you can choose to take the train between Castelfranco di Veneto to Bassano del Grappa.
Arriving in Bassano del Grappa, you can’t miss a stroll over the famous Ponte degli Alpini, before heading back towards Asolo on a meandering route through a lush green hilly region, with a castle or two to stop and visit on the way.

- Meals: Breakfast
- Ascent: 250 Metres Approx.
The route today heads towards the Piave River, cycling through the rolling hills of Ezzelini and the Colli Asolani. Once you’ve crossed the Piave River the intensity of the vineyards will become obvious, and you will know you have entered the heart of the Prosecco region.
The route to Follina will follow the higher road from Valdobbiadene, with Prosecco vineyards extending on the steep hills below you. On arrival at your accommodation, your host, a sommelier, will welcome you with a glass of one of the best Cortize Prosecco wines, on the house, from the vineyards you have just cycled through. Nothing like a refreshing local wine that’s been produced within 20 kms of your accommodation!

- Meals: Breakfast
- Ascent: 600 Metres Approx.
Today’s ride is classic Prosecco, taking in the best riding and best scenery the region has to offer. Leaving your accommodation, the riding starts along the fertile lower valley separated by the high Monti dei Visentini and the lush rolling hills of Prosecco.
Heading south, you’ll start climbing, with woods giving way to vineyard after vineyard of rolling hills. Meandering up and down through valleys, the photo opportunities will be many! Stopping at the Molinetto della Croda is a must, with a water mill set below a picturesque waterfall.
Looping west through Compea, you’ll find 117 hectares of vineyards, with over 100 wine producers – Including Conegliano Valdobbiadene producing Prosecco Superiore DOCG, and the exclusive DOCG Cartizze sparkling wine. Today’s lunch can be taken in an osteria, with terraces overlooking the vineyards, the options are many! Riding on you’ll arrive in Follina, where a visit to the Abbey with its stunning cloister is a must.
- Meals: Breakfast
- Ascent: 250 Metres Approx.
A leisurely day ahead following cycle routes and paths along the valley to the small lakes near Revine, Lago di St Maria and Lago di Lago.
A cycle path loops around the lakes allowing for many stops for a swim or a sunbathe.
Traditional small villages surround the lake, where you can pack up a nice picnic for the day – bread, cheese and local produce bought at a local shop. This is the perfect day to find a cool spot and enjoy a peaceful lunch.

- Meals: Breakfast
- Ascent: 280 Metres Approx.
Time to say goodbye to this amazing area and ride back to Treviso. As you ride south, you’ll take a route that leads you past medieval castles – the castle of Collalto di Susegana whose tower and bastions remain after first world war bombardments and the Castello di San Salvatore’s imposing walls and towers tell a tale of great imposing dominance in the region (privately owned).
As you head back to Nevalesa della Battaglia, the route heads south through the countryside back to Treviso. This is your final opportunity to explore this town of water shadowed by nearby Venice before enjoying your last evening and sumptuous Italian dinner.
- Meals: Breakfast
Time to say arrivederci to this delicious region of Italy and head to the airport for flights home (transfer approx. 30 mins).

The Cycling
Terrain
The route uses a mixture of different types of roads (including single lanes and quiet double roads) and cycle paths (some paved, some gravel). Approx. 85% of the route is on roads shared with vehicle traffic (some with a separated cycle lane), with around 5% of the route on mixed use paths (cyclists, pedestrians, but no motor traffic). Most roads are quiet, however there will be some busier roads, especially when cycling through built up areas and bigger towns such as Treviso, Bassano del Grappa and Castelfranco Veneto.
Prosecco is a hilly region, so short climbs and descents can be expected. Day 5 will pose the biggest challenge with its undulations throughout the day.
Hybrid bikes are recommended for this tour.

Is this suitable for you?
Maybe you have recently got into cycling and would like to do more over consecutive days, or maybe you‘re looking for a more energetic alternative to your usual vacation? If you’re looking for an opportunity to try some quiet roads, cycle paths or some accessible, cycle friendly routes these trips might be for you. You’ll come across some gently undulating terrain and the odd cheeky challenge, so we’d generally expect those on a Grade 2 trip to ride their bikes relatively frequently at home, perhaps commuting to work or heading out for some leisurely rides at the weekend.
