Travel in Iceland with Willy Mulonia’s PA-Cycling & Dino Lanzaretti’s Bike Travel Experience

Trip Overview 

Join forces Willy Mulonia and the legendary Dino Lanzaretti for an unforgettable cycling adventure across Iceland!

These are Dino’s words:

“The word awe echoed in my mind when I first embarked on this journey. What began as a simple quest for a scenic ride through nature quickly turned into one of the most extraordinary adventures of my life”.

Just a short flight from Europe lies a land shaped by fire and ice—Iceland, a cyclist’s paradise.

Our journey will take us from the vibrant city of Reykjavík through the lush green hills of Landmannalaugar, across the vast desert plateau of the Highlands, where glaciers and volcanoes dominate the landscape. We will challenge the elements, embrace the raw beauty of nature, and push our limits, all while savoring every moment of this epic ride from the southern coast to the northern reaches of the island.

For 10 days, Iceland’s breathtaking scenery will be our stage, delivering the purest essence of adventure on a silver platter.
And what better way to experience something truly extraordinary than by reaching it through your own strength?

How we travel:

Given Iceland’s rugged terrain and remote landscapes, self-sufficiency is key.

• You’ll need a reliable, well-equipped bicycle capable of carrying food and essential gear.
• We’ll spend most nights camping, using designated sites whenever possible.
• Meals will be prepared together, embracing the spirit of adventure.
• While the distances aren’t extreme and the terrain isn’t overly technical, adaptability is crucial—Icelandic weather is unpredictable, and being prepared is essential.

Dino Lanzaretti & Willy Mulonia will accompany you through every step of preparation to ensure you’re ready for this once-in-a-lifetime journey.
