This area is famous for its industrious, active people: a fabulous mix of Italian, Austrian, and Ladin customs and mindsets. Learn more about the local people through our visits to small producers, the people behind your food. Discuss with your tour leaders the history and traditions of this part of Italy, collect inspiring stories, and learn recipes to take home with you.

 

Enjoy your 6-night journey at your own rhythm, immersing yourself in the exquisite alpine atmosphere and pastoral bliss of Trentino and South Tyrol, all while riding on quiet bike paths from Venosta and Adige Valleys to Lake Garda: Welcome to the kingdom of cycling, skiing, and hiking!
