14.09. – 21.09.2024

A journey on two wheels along enchanting shore worlds.

Welcome to an exciting journey along the breathtaking Italian lakes – Lago di Como, Lago di Maggiore and Lago di Varese.

These regions of Italy are not only known for their picturesque landscapes and charming towns, but also offer first-class opportunities for us road cyclists. On this trip we will get on our bikes and explore the shores of these lakes, framed by majestic mountains and offering a fascinating mix of culture, nature and culinary delights. No bags need to be packed this week, our hotel will remain the same all week.

For those who can’t get enough of Italy, we recommend booking our cycling week “Italy – Coast to Coast” directly afterwards. We will then cycle from the Ligurian coast to the Adriatic Sea.
