I’d been looking for a place where I could unwind, forget everyday life and go on a fun cycling adventure. With a couple of great friends and adventure partners, I headed off towards the area north of Verona, between Valpolicella, Valdadige and Lessinia.
By combining our passion for gravel, desire to discover new places and love of local food and wine, we put together a fun weekend. At a leisurely pace, we explored an area of northern Italy that I barely knew before. In this Collection, you’ll find the two rides we did that weekend, designed for you to experience Valpolicella up close, at the rhythm of your pedals.
The two gravel loops start from Bussolengo. You’ll easily find a parking space, as we did, and a place to spend the night. The town is an ideal location to take a walk in the evening and tuck into dinner at one of the numerous trattorias.
With these two Tours, one of which is slightly more challenging, you’ll pass iconic places straddling the three valleys, such as the piana di Brigaldola, the passo dei Lumini, the short yet fascinating 2x4 cycle path, the Progni Valley, and panoramic views across to Molina. You’ll climb through vineyards and olive groves, stopping to catch your breath and admire the valley behind you.
We tackled these two itineraries in the first days of spring. They’re suitable any time of year, except winter, which can be humid and cold. Along the way, you’ll encounter many fountains, as well as numerous taverns, trattorias and bars where a glass of Valpolicella Ripasso awaits.
Pack your bags and embark on this short adventure through the magical lands of Valpolicella, Valdadige and Lessinia!
In deze eerste grindring neem ik je mee tussen Valdadige en Valpolicella. Neem de hele dag, want met het hoogteverschil en de juiste pauzes heb je tijd en verlangen nodig om je ogen met schoonheid te vullen.
Vertrek vanuit Bussolengo en verlaat de stad via een onverharde weg. Zodra je de asfaltweg weer…
In deze tweede rit tussen Valpolicella en Lessinia start je vanuit Bussolengo en steek je de Adige over richting Arcè. Op een constante lichte helling passeert de route prestigieuze villa's met goed onderhouden heggen, wijngaarden zover het oog reikt en kleine dorpjes als Bure en Gargagnago.
Vanaf hier…
