In the rolling countryside of Treviso, Italy, the town of Conegliano serves as a perfect launch point for an unforgettable cycling journey through history and stunning natural landscapes. Italy Cycling Tour offers a one-day Ciclotour del Monte Grappa - La Grande Guerra, weaving together challenging climbs, scenic vistas, and a deep dive into the area's historic significance. Starting in the charming town of Follina, riders set out along winding roads that undulate through the hilly terrain, revealing sweeping views of the Veneto plains and distant Alps.
The highlight is the ascent of Monte Grappa, a mountain steeped in World War I history.
