I had a wonderful trip with Italy Bike Tour with three friends, and it was simply unforgettable! Everything was impeccable — beautiful itineraries, perfect organization, and a unique experience. The highlight, without a doubt, were the guides Stefano and Matteu. Super attentive and prepared, they made all the difference! We felt welcomed the whole time! I recommend them with my eyes closed. It was much more than just cycling through Italy — it was experiencing incredible moments that we will cherish forever. Thank you, Stefano and Matteu! 💛🚴♀️🇮🇹

Three of us from Singapore joined the Italy Bike Tours’ Bike & Wellness program and I am happy that the 5-day ride program exceeded my expectation. The curated routes of uphill, downhill, zipping through villages & old town centres and around Lake Iseo were incredible & so enjoyable with an e-bike. More importantly the team comprising Roberto, Marco & Lucy was very accommodating and shared many biking stories & tips. Hope to return next year to bike with them again . 😊 🙏

Itinerary
34 km | 430 m
You’ll be greeted by one of our friendly team members, who will assist with your luggage and arrange your transfer to our relaxing wellness hotel just outside of Bergamo, at the gateway to the Italian Alps.
We’ll take care of the full setup, bike fitting, adjusting pedals, lights, and saddles - and all you have to do is enjoy the ride.
Your retreat begins with a guided walk through Città Alta, Bergamo’s stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we'll share local secrets and hidden gems. The evening ends with dinner at one of our favorite traditional trattorias, where you'll taste the authentic flavors of northern Italy.
Phi Hotel Piajo | Nembro
39 km | 450 m
Take in the wild beauty of the Brembana Valley on two wheels along one of northern Italy’s most scenic cycle routes. This easy ride follows the historic railway line built in 1906, once connecting Bergamo to San Pellegrino Terme. You'll ride through old railway tunnels and lush Alpine landscapes - a perfect blend of nature and history.
Stop for a classic Italian aperitivo-style lunch in San Pellegrino, then unwind at the world-famous San Pellegrino Terme Spa. With its mix of modern wellness design and stunning Art Nouveau architecture, it’s easy to see why this town was once a retreat for Europe’s aristocracy.
After a relaxing afternoon at the spa, enjoy dinner in San Pellegrino before returning to your hotel for a well-earned rest.
Phi Hotel Piajo | Nembro
57 km | 630 m
It’s time to say goodbye to Hotel Piajo and continue your journey toward Hotel La Pieve in Pisogne, beautifully perched above the shores of Lake Iseo, Italy. Today’s ride follows a gentle and scenic cycle path along the River Serio, heading north to the charming town of Clusone, where history and hidden gems await.
We continue riding toward Lovere, a medieval lakeside village - perfect for a gelato break and a few photos. After a short ride, we arrive at our hotel, where you can relax by the pool with views over Lake Iseo.
In the evening, enjoy a vineyard tour and wine tasting at a local winery as the sun sets. Dinner is your choice - we’ll recommend great spots nearby!
Hotel La Pieve | Pisogne
45 km | 270 m
Today we head north, cycling the gentle, flat Val Camonica trail alongside the River Oglio - a guest favorite for its peaceful scenery and smooth ride. We’ll stop in Boario Terme for coffee and a light lunch, with the Alps rising in the background.
Later, join our yoga expert for a relaxing session in a mountain garden - a perfect way to stretch and reset. In the evening, we’ll take a scenic boat ride to Monte Isola, the island jewel of Lake Iseo, and enjoy a memorable dinner overlooking the water.
Hotel La Pieve | Pisogne
62 km | 540 m
One of our favorite rides - this easy loop around Lake Iseo, Italy offers a perfect blend of stunning views, charming villages, and relaxed cycling. From the lively piazza of Iseo, past Sarnico’s Art Déco villas, to the postcard-perfect Riva di Solto, every stop reveals the hidden beauty of this Italian lake.
We’ll visit the breathtaking Bay of Bogn di Zorzino, then switch gears for a fun paddleboarding session on the lake. The final stretch back to the hotel follows a scenic lakeside road carved beneath dramatic cliffs - an unforgettable ride.
Tonight, we gather for a farewell dinner, sharing stories, laughter, and memories from a truly special wellness and cycling holiday.
Hotel La Pieve | Pisogne
30 km | 250 m
Sadly, all good things must come to an end - but not before one final sunrise ride to soak in the peaceful beauty of Lake Iseo one last time. After returning to the hotel for a refreshing shower and check-out, we’ll be happy to assist with your onward travel.
Not ready to leave? Let us help you extend your stay and enjoy a few more days of beautiful cycling in Italy. The adventure doesn’t have to end just yet!
