With its crystal clear waters and beautiful sandy beaches, Sardinia is one of the most sought after destinations for Italian sun seekers, but it’s got plenty to offer the adventurous cyclist as well.

You can go from Mediterranean glamour to crumbling old villages in the same ride and delve deep into the sparsely populated mountains to see a side of Sardinia that few visitors know exists.

There’s a breathtaking diversity to the terrain on the island, from stunning coastal roads that run alongside its 1840km of shoreline, to the dramatic, craggy, and rustic interior of the island, parts of which look unchanged in generations.

For this very special La Corsa trip, we’ll set off from Santa Teresa Gallura, a small town on the Strait of Bonifacio at the very northern tip of Sardinia before heading down south along the western coastline, with plenty of detours to explore the island’s wonderful inland climbs.

Our flagship tour has been years in the making and we think you’ll love it. Tuscany is one of the best places to ride a bike in the world. That’s why it’s the region where many pro cyclists live and train. It has everything going for it – from short, sharp climbs, to long ascents, and from fast descents, to the technical Strade Bianche, Chianti has it all. What’s more, Chianti offers some of the best food and wine in the world. All of this, combined with excellent service from our dedicated team, creates the LA CORSA Chianti experience.

Whether you’re looking to light up the climbs or take in the sights and smells at a more moderate tempo, we’ll ride the same beautiful roads used in races like L’Eroica and the World Championships. Along the way, we’ll show you all the little things that make Tuscany the base of choice for so many of the peloton’s top professionals.

You’ll be staying in a spacious, self-contained apartment in Borgo Sicelle, an authentic Tuscan villa in a tiny hamlet in the heart of Chianti. The villa is comprised of self-contained apartments with kitchenettes and en suite bathrooms for each guest. Set around a relaxing pool, each suite offers stunning vistas over the entire valley.

The Dolomites is arguably the most iconic cycling destination in the world, boasting a stunning array of mountain passes and a rich racing history that nowhere else can compete with.

Its appeal goes far beyond the bike, though, with climbers and skiers coming from around the globe to explore and test themselves against these iconic mountains.

The landscape here is dominated by the mountain range’s 18 major peaks, and dramatic, sheer cliff faces are contrasted with lush, sheltered valleys. The region is also home to a plethora of cosy mountain refuges and quaint little towns, meaning a mid-ride coffee stop is never too far away.

This tour is an epic voyage, rising up through the high mountains before descending to the charming city of Treviso, right in the heart of Veneto’s Prosecco region.

Along the way, we’ll take on many of the famous passes used in the Giro D’Italia, and there’ll also be plenty of attention given to the region’s excellent food and wine!

The incredible scenery, rich cycling culture, and gorgeous cuisine mean that Tuscany is always an incredible place to ride a bike. But when the world’s biggest bike race comes to town, no self-respecting rider should want to be anywhere else.

We’ll be celebrating the 111th edition of the Tour de France in style, with a new twist on our classic Tuscany trip, combining the best that Chianti has to offer with an unforgettable trip to the Tour’s opening stage in Florence. And of course, we’ll catch some of the racing so that you’ll feel like you’re at the heart of the action.

Back in Chianti, our base will be the Borgo Sicelle, a charming Tuscan villa that’s set around a gorgeous swimming pool, the perfect place to unwind after a fun day in the saddle. We’ll be fully supported along the way by expert mechanics and there’ll be plenty of great Tuscan food to fuel the ride. Each guest will stay in a spacious, self-contained suite that offers stunning vistas over the entire valley.

Our knowledge of this region is second-to-none and we promise a truly local experience both on and off the bike. Our routes combine the best of Tuscany, from narrow, technical gravel roads to wide- open, panoramic countryside. And every turn of the pedal will be accompanied by our dedicated team of guides and mechanics, who cannot wait to show you the real Tuscany.
