If you are dreaming of discovering the lush, green countryside of the Piedmont region, riding past rivers, hills, vineyards and lakes then look no further!
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.

Porto to Coimbra
This week-long bike tour on Portugal’s west coast weaves a tale of two cities -- and all the seaside villages, natural landscapes, and cultural heritage in between!
The itinerary starts in Porto, a vibrant urban centre on the Douro River, famous for its historic districts and monuments, as well as its production of Port Wine. At the other end of the route lies venerable Coimbra, with its 13th-century university, and fantastic collection of churches, monasteries, and cultural institutions. Both cities have a charming character that is both historic and modern, where you can enjoy a sangria on a riverside terrace after a day of wandering among treasured relics of eras past.
Along the way, you’ll follow quiet roads and cycle paths through pine woods, along lagoons and sand dunes, and explore the lovely towns and beaches that line Portugal’s renowned “Silver Coast”. Tour the canals of Aveiro in a traditional Moliceiro boat, go bird-watching in the Natural Reserve of the Sao Jacinto Dunes, and experience the charms of coastal life in Mira and Figueira da Foz. Dine daily on fresh fish and other local specialties, and let yourself dream about never having to leave this idyllic corner of the world...

An itinerary designed to thrill
Perhaps our most popular cycling tour in Provence, The Arles Countryside is an itinerary designed to thrill. We know the very best way to be dazzled by Provence is to experience it on the seat of a bicycle, where nothing comes between you and the warm breeze blowing intoxicating aromas in your direction. If you think the charms of Provence are too good to be true, this tour will change your mind!
Be prepared to cycle uphill, downhill, and even back in time. The Alpilles region, with its cypresses and olive trees, may remind you of Greece, while the well-preserved Pont-du-Gard and the Arles Theater will take you back to ancient Roman times.
At your own pace, stop to visit abbeys, castles, gardens, vineyards, and whatever sites your heart desires. Further discover Provençal heritage at local caf√©s, markets, shops and museums. Prefer to admire buildings from the outside? You don’t have to stop until you reach your charming accommodations for the night.

An olfactory riding adventure in Provence
Embrace the wonderful colors and perfume-like scents of Provence's favorite fragrant bloom on a tour through the region's favorite lavender fields. Our itinerary is a celebration of lavender in all its forms, whether cultivated by locals or growing wild in the fields, in soaps and oils or even in edible treats.
Located between the Alps and Provence, our Lavender Route highlights both regions. With an exceptional Mediterranean climate, it is very typical for the region to receive about 300 days of sun per year. The true draw of this region, however, is the unmistakable and calming aroma of endless lavender fields combined with pure Alpine-fresh mountain air — an invigorating fragrance for an active holiday with a relaxing feel.
Riding through contrasting landscapes, you’ll pass the Gorges of Verdon (France’s “Grand Canyon”), climb to the hilltop village of Valensole and its spectacular lavender-covered plateau, and meander through hills and valleys bordering the Luberon. You’ll visit places steeped in history and tradition, such as Moustiers-Sainte-Marie (famous for its Faïence pottery), the medieval citadel of Manosque, as well as the spa towns of Digne-les-Bains and Gréoux-les-Bains. (Bains, if you couldn’t tell, means “baths” — as in thermal baths!)
This is an extraordinary tour that’s best enjoyed by those who bike regularly. The terrain involves some hills and climbs, but the payoff is more than worth it. Once immersed in this charming landscape, you will have no difficulty understanding why Alain Ducasse and fellow prestigious chefs have found their culinary inspiration in this region. It’s hard not to be captivated by the variety of local produce and specialties: truffles, olive oil, honey, rosemary, thyme, and, of course, lavender.
This trip is the only one that truly focuses on lavender. We do have other bike trips that will take you through other lavender-growing areas... but you won't see (and smell) as much lavender.
Peak lavender season is in July.
