What to expect?

If you think riding a bike is a great way to discover a territory, then this is the right tour for you. During this 2-day guided tour you will cycle on the hills of Bologna towards Imola, surrounded by welcoming but also wild landscapes. The first stop on the tour will be the Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell'Abbadessa nature park, where you will be able to observe the ravines up close, typical of karst regions.

We will then cycle to the Terme della Salute Più Village, a spa complex surrounded by nature in the hills of Monterenzio. Here you can choose to pamper yourself at the spa, or experience the many outdoor pools of the adjacent water park. To end the day on a high note, you can enjoy an excellent dinner at the village restaurant prepared with local ingredients.

On the second day of the tour you will ride through the Sillaro Valley, heading towards Dozza, listed as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Dozza is particularly famous for its murals decorating the village’s walls, created by artists from all over the world. Dozza is also home to the fascinating Rocca Sforzesca fortress that hosts the Enoteca Regionale dell'Emilia Romagna where you can taste some of the finest local wines.

The last stop of the tour will be Imola and its famous racetrack named after Enzo and Dino Ferrari.
