WHERE ARE WE GOING?
Program
First day
Meet the tour guide by 8:30 a.m.**, pick up your bikes, and off we go on a loop tour through the most fascinating walled cities in the region. We’ll soak up history as we cycle through Cittadella, Bassano, and Marostica. We’ll then head first to Bassano del Grappa, an elegant and lively town, passing through historic squares until we reach the famous Ponte degli Alpini (Ponte Vecchio), the city’s symbol. Here, it’s almost a ritual to stop at the Nardini Distillery for the traditional “mezo e mezo.” We continue on toward Marostica, famous for the Piazza degli Scacchi and the historical reenactment of the Living Chess Game. We return to Cittadella in the late afternoon, just in time for a nice aperitif.
**Note: Those who wish to arrive the night before may request an additional night’s stay in Cittadella.
Second day
Today's ride is scenic and gentle, through the Asolo Hills. We arrive in Asolo, one of Italy's most beautiful villages, refined and intimate. Weather permitting, we stop in Castelfranco Veneto, a walled city that was the birthplace of Giorgione.
