Ancient culture, an ever shifting political landscape, Latin temperament, fine food and wine, design flair, gorgeous countryside, big mountains, great trails…
Why wouldn’t you want to mix it all up with some fun and at times challenging mountain biking?
Biking the Boot is an incredible 3-week trip that starts with an 11 day MTB tour crossing the country from near Roma in the west, to Romagna in the north east through the Apennine hill country. We ride through Umbria, Tuscany, and finish in the Emilia-Romagna region. Then we head up into the Alps and spend 6 days traversing the magnificent Dolomites from Cortina to finish in the mountain bike town of Riva Del Garda at the head of Italy’s largest lake. In total we ride some 800km.
I’ve been running Biking the Boot since 2012 but, like all international tours in the pandemic, we had to press the pause button. But it was so good to be back there in 2023 and I’ve little doubt again that you won’t find a better mountain bike tour anywhere.
Stage 1 – The Apennines - Roma to Romagna (bikepacking)
Stage 2 – The Dolomites – Cortina to Riva (supported)
