Five days among stone, wind and silence

Five days in which the mountains are not just a landscape but guardians of old stories of courage and sacrifice. We start across high pastures where the malghe, the summer dairy huts, still keep the old rhythm of transhumance, and the Altopiano welcomes us with its simple hospitality.

Then memory becomes tangible: the Sacrario of Asiago, Forte Lisser watching over the valleys, the war roads climbing towards Cima Portule along switchbacks and trenches, Monte Verena and Forte Campolongo, and finally Monte Cengio and the Salto dei Granatieri.

Five days in the saddle, on trails and roads with sweeping views, between history and nature. On the Asiago Plateau riding is more than sport: it is a way to feel history, breathe the mountains and carry a piece of them home.

We settle in, prepare the bikes, go over the details of the trip and enjoy the first of many spectacular dinners.

48 km, +1,130 m

A loop through green pastures and mountain huts along the edge of the plateau, with views between the abyss of Val d’Assa and the distant Dolomites, the forests of Barenthal and the cycle path on the old rack railway, its tunnels carved into the rock.

50 km, +1,370 m

Through the railway tunnels to Asiago and its Military Memorial, up Monte Rasta for the view, towards the Piana di Marcesina and on to Forte Lisser, an Austro-Hungarian fort in a commanding position.

47.4 km, +1,470 m

Across the wide pastures of Marcesina, the “Canada of Italy”, to the Aquila di Vaia, a sculpture made from trees felled by the Vaia storm, then a steady climb to Bocchetta Portule, the highest point of the tour and a key supply line in the war. Night at the refuge of Cima Larici.

56.2 km, +1,310 m

After breakfast at the refuge, a descent among malghe and bright forests, across the Dosso del Monaco and down to Lake Lavarone in time for sunset and an aperitivo by the water.

Through Luserna and its Cimbrian culture, up to the Drago di Vaia and the Austro-Hungarian Forte Belvedere, then back across the white gravel roads of Campolongo to the Col del Sole.

Logistics in some countries are complicated for many reasons, but the organization of the Mongolia trip was impeccable. I think I'll rely on the same agency for other tours around the world.

Massimo A.Mongolia · Google review · Translated from Italian

I don't know any company that does this kind of trip better. The trip design, the time together, the planning: perfect. I've already done 5 trips with them. Oh, and the guides are a 10!

Santiago R.Google review · Translated from Spanish

True adventure cycling. Going to places one would likely never go on one’s own, in a way that means facing real rather than contrived challenges, but with professionalism and support of the highest standard.
