Cycle tourism

Cycle tourism is a form of tourism practiced by bicycle, with variations such as “train+bike” or tours organized by agencies providing logistical support and luggage transport. It is a particularly economical way of traveling that goes beyond the standards and usual itineraries of mass tourism.

Practitioners, known as cycle tourists, are almost always united by a strong environmental sensitivity, a great passion for the bicycle as a means of transport and a lifestyle, a lively curiosity for places unknown to the general public, and a high degree of adaptability to unforeseen situations.

The pleasure of cycling in the midst of nature, towards cities of art, ancient villages, or solitary peaks is a sensation well known to all cycle tourists. Stage after stage, the slow progress of the bicycle allows one to fully appreciate the territory being crossed, offering unique emotions.

Cycle tourism is a way to discover the territory in a slow and direct manner, breathing the same air and observing everything without filters, but it requires careful preparation and technical organization. The traveler must indeed be able to independently manage overnight stays and any occurrences or mechanical breakdowns that may happen during the tour.
