THE BASSANO DEL GRAPA EXPERIENCE

We’re pleased to announce our first bespoke luxury Bassano del Grappa cycling Experience. You’ll be based in a traditional 4 star hotel in this cycling paradise, nestled in the beautiful Veneto region of Italy – which is the gateway to some of the world’s most stunning cycling routes. But with this experience – the cycling is only half of the story, the rest to be savoured in Bassano’s restaurants, trattorias and bars!!
We have designed an exciting itinerary that will allow us to explore the stunning landscapes, charming towns, and vineyards of this most famous region of Italy.
We will be offering a complimentary luxury shuttle from Venice airport to the beautiful town of Bassano del Grappa. We have carefully chosen a wonderful 4 star charming hotel in the centre of this vibrant buzzing town. From here, we will be perfectly located to tackle these legendary climbs in the enchanting Veneto region. We are spoilt for choice of summits, but these will include Monte Grappa (last 2 mountain climbs from the 2024 Giro), Passo Croce d’Aune – the climb where Tullio Campagnolo was inspired to invent the quick release due to his hands freezing and going numb while climbing in a snowstorm. Other local favourites are Foza, Cima Campo and Passo Cereda.
Obviously being in Italy, there will be a focus on sampling the delicious food and wine of this Veneto region. To immerse ourselves into the terroir, we will be offering local wine and olive oil tasting. Veneto brings heft and history to the table. Its importance is in part due to the volume of Pinot Grigio it produces, and the massive growth in demand for Prosecco.
This Bassano del Grappa Experience is one for the pure cyclist and with a support vehicle and 2 guides on the road, you will be able to ride at a pace that best suits you. Climbing these iconic Giro d’Italia summits is why so many cyclists flock to the southern Dolomites.
Each morning, you will wake up to a clean well maintained bike, serviced by our pro mechanic. He will be riding with us on the roads and on hand for any mechanical emergencies or tweaking required.
Each afternoon we will return to our luxurious hotel to freshen up and wind down, before meeting for aperitifs prior to dinner at a local trattoria.
As a memento of this unforgettable week in Bassano, it’s our pleasure to offer each guest with a commemorative Sportful Girona Velo jersey.
We’d love to have you join us for this magnificent but challenging week of cycling hedonism, plus all the sumptuous delights that the area has to offer.
Allow us take care of everything – so you can just focus on riding, eating sumptuous Italian food and sharing this unique experience with your fellow riders.
