Bicycle trip round the Alps, from the Adriatic Sea – Trieste to the Mediterranean Sea Nice

This route was planned to cross the mountain range from its two ends, longitudinally, joining the Adriatic Sea with the Tyrrhenian Sea. Passing through the highest mountain passes in Europe and famous for the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia. Living in this way the strong European tradition of cycling, which became world famous in these mountains. The beauty of these unique mountains can be appreciated in the high mountain stretches, close to the sky alongside icy peaks or traveling through hidden cycle paths, which like “galleries” penetrate the forest. We will pass through many interesting towns, different in their culture, architecture and gastronomy that we will have the opportunity to taste.

The Alps are located at the north of the Italian península. They are over 1300 km long, go across several countries with different cultures and different languages (around 25). These mountains witnessed many peoples and empires that went through and lived there. Mountains also allowed for the survival of many interesting traditions. We can find people that live differently from the country they are part of. Some of them are still nomads, taking their cattle to the mountaintops to graze in the summer and staying at lower altitude during the winter.

Geography determined that only small urban centers developed, so our itinerary goes through these villages, only some ocassional cities on the way. We will also go through sky centers, which during the summer have a large of offer of trails for MTB and trekking enthusiasts.

This trip was planned to go across the mountain range from one end to the other end, lenghtwise, connecting the Adriatic Sea to the Tyrrhenian Sea. We will go through the highest mountain crossings in Europe, and ones made famous by the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia. We will appreciate the unique beauty of these mountains, near the sky on snowy peaks or going through hidden cycling paths that go into the Woods.
