Cyclomundo

The tour sees you ride between two Italian capitals. Beginning in the elegant city of Turin, which today is capital of the Piedmont region, but during medieval times was the capital of the Duchy of Savoy and even the Kingdom of Italy, and ends in Milan, the glamorous Italian capital of business and fashion.

Along the way you will ride through the Piedmont and Lombardy regions, pedaling past rivers, verdant hills and the azure-coloured lakes of Viverone, Orta and Maggiore. A few notable highlights from the trip include stays in Gattinara, a village reknowned for its wine bars, where you will be able to taste exquisite wines, and in Pavia, an ancient medieval capital and refined university city from where you can discover the Certosa, a splendid monastery dating from the fourteenth century.

And what better way to finish your day in the saddle than by enjoying some of the region’s local specialities? Perhaps veal agnolotti, or a taste of the famed white truffle of Alba, paired with a glass of Barolo or Barbaresco.

Yes, this means plenty of cheese(you’ll stop in Gruyères, home of the famed Gruyère cheese) and plenty of chocolate. Trust us, the Swiss have good taste (buds)! You’ll pedal through noted vineyards and famous cheese-producing villages, tour medieval castles and visit Gothic cathedrals, look up at towering mountain peaks and look down at shimmering alpine lakes, and lodge every night in top-rated towns bursting with beautiful views and delicious dining opportunities.

Start in Geneva, a multicultural jewel where you’ll overhear many languages aside from French. Your biking adventure commences alongside quaint vineyards and the stunning Lac Léman as you head to Lausanne. Next up is Gruyères, where you mustn’t leave without a bite of cheese — or a pot of fondue. Take in the endless beauty as you pass through Lavaux (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). When you really feel like your eyes can’t handle anymore, you’ll enter the medieval town of Fribourg. Conclude your trip with panoramic views of Lake Thun (Thoune in French), gently rolling hills in the Bernoise countryside, and a night in Interlaken, one of the world’s adventure capitals.

Beginning in Dijon and ending in Mâcon, this tour allows you to experience France at its glass-clinking best. Pouilly-Fuissé, Aloxe-Corton, Montrachet, and Meursault are just a few of the famous vineyards you’ll pass during this one-of-a-kind bicycle tour. Along the way, you’ll visit tiny wine-making villages steeped in Old World charm. And at night you’ll lodge in some of the region’s prominent towns — Beaune, Cluny, Dijon — while enjoying Burgundy’s two greatest passions: food and wine.

On some of the days, you’ll have options for shorter or longer routes, giving you the flexibility to pick and choose rides that best suit your interests. This tour covers relatively easy terrain making it suitable for all riders.

If you love cycling, castles, and country scenery, and you have a long weekend to spare, our escape in the riverfront Loire Valley is a dream come true!

Travel along the river through vineyards, peaceful farmland, and little villages that remind you of a fairytale. That there are so many châteaux to explore on flat, easy terrain makes it the perfect region for adults and children alike! As you ride through the UNESCO World Heritage landscape, you’ll be able to visit no fewer than nine castles — in only four days! You can’t miss the big names like the spectacularly large Chateau de Chambord and the oh-so-romantic Chateau de Chenonceau. No less intriguing are the Chateau de Blois, Chateau d’Amboise, Leonardo da Vinci’s beloved Chateau de Clos Luce, Chaumont-sur-Loire, Chateau de Cheverny, Chateau de Beauregard, and the Chateau Fougeres-sur-Bievre. Of course, if you opt to skip a castle to spend more time cruising around on your bike, we completely understand!

Our most comprehensive, moderate-level Provence cycling tour showcases the best of this unforgettable region, making it a perfect fit for those who’ve never been to Provence before — and even those who have! Unlike other tourists who rush to take it all in from a bus seat, you'll discover them at your own pace, on a bicycle, away from traffic and on quiet roads.

This self-guided bicycle itinerary you to some of the best-known places in Provence, such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Saint-Remy, Les Baux, Tarascon, Arles, Gordes, and Roussillon. Since they’re scattered in different corners — the Luberon, the Alpilles, and the Côtes-du-Rhône, to be precise — we worked hard to connect them all on quiet roads through quintessentially Provençal scenery. You’ll ride over rolling hills up to fortresses offering panoramic views, through lush vineyards surrounding world-famous châteaux, and even back in time — the fascinating history of Provence is ever-present in the exceptional monuments of the past.

This is where you’ll find evidence of early mankind: cave paintings, dwellings, ruins and more. Our tour will take you to the heart of ‘Périgord Noir,’ or ‘Black Périgord,’ so named for the oak and pine trees grown there. In just a small section of Perigord, you’ll have access to a wide array of true French gems: incredibly pretty villages, exquisite cuisine, stately chateaux, and inimitable natural beauty.

What makes Black Périgord all the more appealing is its bike-friendliness. We think the world’s greatest treasures are best enjoyed from the seat of a bike, and here you have full access to quiet country roads — allowing for a mesmerizing and worry-free vacation.

From the region’s capital of Torino, you’ll cycle (and devour) your way along the river Po, over lush green foothills, through beautiful medieval towns including Pinerolo and Saluzzo, and towards the gastronomic gems of Bra and Alba. And even if the leisurely rides and rich history don’t get your heart racing, the region’s traditional sweets certainly will: chocolate, pannetone, Nutella…you’ll have to pedal twice as hard to burn off those extra calories! Equally as decadent are the savouries: braised beef, veal agnolotti, and the famous white truffle of Alba. All of these pair beautifully, of course, with a bottle of the local wine.

Luckily, we’ve planned this trip accordingly—you’ll cap off your tour with a luxurious cycle through the Piedmontese wine country. Believe us when we say that staying upright in the saddle might present a challenge after a few glasses of Barolo and Barbaresco!

Beginning and ending in lively Saint-Malo, this beloved eight-day bicycle tour allows you to experience the best that Brittany has to offer.

Among the many memories you’ll make include your visit to Mont-Saint-Michel, one of France’s most loved destinations; pedaling along Brittany’s famous coast to scenic La Pointe du Grouin; and exploring Brittany’s magical rural landscape, with overnight stays in quaint villages — Dinan, Fougères, Combourg, Dol-de-Bretagne. Enjoy daily opportunities to sample Brittany’s gastronomic specialties — crêpes, seafood, and cheese — and wash down a glass or four of cider, the region’s drink of choice since the days of Charlemagne.

The short daily rides over relatively flat terrain make this bicycle tour wildly popular with riders of all levels.

Words are barely adequate to describe this fantastically unique region. For much of this tour you will be exploring Catalonia’s Costa Brava on edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Thanks to its perfect location, you will be blessed with hot and dry weather, perfect for cycling. In fact, many of the top cyclists in the world choose to call Catalonia home because of the great weather and even better cycling terrain.

The varied landscapes you’ll ride through include mountains, beaches, cliffs, and volcanoes — all in one corner of Europe! Aside from the varied landscapes, you’ll discover the historically diverse city of Girona, the beaches of Roses, and the peculiar birthplace of Salvador Dali, to name a few cultural hotspots. Seeing Catalonia from the seat of your bike is truly the experience of a lifetime! Although this is not a very difficult tour, we recommend this tour to cyclists who ride on a regular basis and can comfortably ride 70 km (45 miles).

Even the coastline will have a variety of beaches, grottos, gullys, and lighthouses! If you are keen on history and art, Apulia (Puglia) has beautiful streets and incredible local architecture (Arab, Byzantine, Spanish and Norman). The Otranto Cathedral, a highlight of this tour, has one of the largest floor mosaics in Europe. This tour also features castles, ornate basilicas, and ancient ruins. Lecce’s roman theater is one such ruin, but the Salento region is also home to neolithic cave paintings, known as “the Sistine Chapel of Prehistory.” Being along the coast, the food you’ll be eating is as fresh as can be, especially if you love seafood. This tour truly has something for everyone!
