WHY VISIT VENETO?

There’s a reason why Veneto’s landscape is revered among cyclists. Here, you’ll find gentle plains that give way to vineyards, olive groves, and then, in a grand crescendo, the soaring Dolomites.

Every turn in the road offers something new, whether it’s a tranquil village, a stretch of road winding through open fields, or a lung-busting climb that rewards you with jaw-dropping vistas.

Veneto has it all—from scenic, leisurely rides to high-octane, adrenaline-pumping ascents. Whatever your pace, you’ll find your rhythm here.

After a good ride, there’s nothing quite like sitting down to a hearty meal—and in Veneto, you’re spoiled for choice. Famous for its world-class wines, like Prosecco, Valpolicella, and Soave—you’ll find no shortage of opportunities to raise a glass.

Bassano del Grappa is the home of the world-famous “grappa”, the potent local spirit that warms the heart (and the legs!).

The food? Rustic, seasonal, and delicious. Whether it’s a creamy mushroom risotto, fresh seafood straight from the coast, or a simple dish of bigoli pasta, Veneto’s cuisine reflects its land: rustic, hearty, and unforgettable.

Veneto’s history reads like the pages of a well-worn epic. From the days of the Venetian Republic, through Napoleon’s campaigns, and right up to the First and Second World Wars, this land has always been a pivotal player.

Ride through these hills, and you might stumble across one of the many British bunkers or find yourself cycling along routes once taken by soldiers from your city over 100 years ago.

The region’s heritage gives every ride a sense of purpose and meaning—you’re not just cycling here; you’re pedalling through history.

For those of us who see the world best from a saddle, Veneto is a cyclist’s paradise. From the rolling Prosecco and volcanic wine hills to the rugged peaks of the Dolomites, its smooth, car-free roads are unmatched.

It’s no wonder that this region has birthed some of the biggest names in cycling: Castelli, Campagnolo, Basso, Pinarello, Willier, Selle Italia, Sidi, Fizik, Fulcrum… I could go on —the pedigree is undeniable.

The Giro d’Italia has made countless passes through Veneto, and you’ll follow in the tracks of legends as you conquer the same iconic climbs and descents.

At the heart of Veneto’s cycling community is the Bassano Club House, Basso Bike’s new cycling hub that welcomes international cyclists. It’s more than just a place to stay—it’s a community of passionate riders.

Whether you’re joining social rides with industry leaders, sipping an espresso in their villa gardens, or cooling off with a post-ride beer, BCH embodies the spirit of cycling in Bassano.

Stay in their charming villa hotel, meet like-minded enthusiasts, and discover why this town is becoming a must-visit for cyclists.

Cycling isn’t just a sport here—it’s woven into the fabric of life. On any morning, you’ll see locals rolling out for their daily rides, often with a nod and a wave to passers-by.

It’s a ritual, a tradition, and for visitors, it’s infectious. Whether you’re chasing personal bests on the climbs or meandering through quiet villages, you’ll find yourself quickly embraced by this unique cycling culture.

Here in Veneto, we don’t just ride for the thrill—we ride to connect with the landscape, the people, and the traditions that make this region so special.
