Lessinia Gravel Weekend

GRAVEL BIKE HOLIDAY IN SMALL GROUP

From 295 €/person
10–12 September 2021 Challenging

Weekend on the Lessinia plateau, along dirt roads in the absolute silence of the mountains

Lessinia plateau is a large panoramic balcony with sweeping views over the Po Valley, the Pre-Alps and the mountains of Trentino. The landscape of Lessinia is the result of the work of man, who for hundreds of years has shaped the area with large pastures, interrupted only by thick woods and stone houses. The plateau is crossed by numerous white roads, that we follow in this weekend on gravel bike. During the first day we approach to the high pastures of the mountains, cycling among the hills of ills Valley, in a landscape characterized by immense vineyards. On the second day, we cross the entire plateau and then return to Verona following the ridges of the hills. Finally, the gastronomic offer of Lessinia represents one of the highlights of the weekend: it is impossible not to fall in love with Monte Veronese cheese or gnocchi di malga!

Program

Individual arrival in Verona.

Bike fitting (if included).

Dinner in Verona and overnight at Residenza Pietra di Verona.

The itinerary leaves Verona behind following dirt roads that first flank river Adige and then cross the large cultivated countryside up to the base of the hills. The route climbs and descends from the hills offering great views over the Val d’illasi, then follows the valley floor covered with vineyards and cherry trees. Finally, we reach the first pastures of Lessini after a challenging climb: the first day ends here, in a small village immersed in the silence of Lessinia.

Dinner and overnight at Locanda Viaverde.

We start the day cycling uphill, refreshed by the crisp mountain air. We soon reach the dirt roads of the plateau: there we cycle among the immense panoramas and the only noise of our wheels on the gravel. There will be the opportunity to savor a cold beer and eat typical dishes in a classic mountain hut before heading down to Verona. The descent is exciting, on the ridge of the hills, with sweeping views over the plain and the city. Finally, we go back to Verona crossing Valpantena valley, with a surprising ending.
