Day 1: arrive in Milan

Arrival in Milan, the fashion capital where we will see the most beautiful corners and the Duomo, the biggest gothic cathedral in the world. We recommend to land in Linate airport as this is the closest to the town and the motorbike rental agency. The other 2 airports, Orio al Serio and Linate are more far even if well connected. In the evening we will have our welcome dinner.

Day 2: from Milan to Ponte di Legno - 190 km/ 118 miles

We will get our motorbikes from the rental agency and will start our beautiful adventure. We will get to Lake Iseo and then the mountains will start to show up, showing all their beauty. We will have fun with the first Alps bends, and, in the evening, we will get to Pontedi Legno, lovely village on top of Camonica Valley.

Day 3: from Ponte di Legno to Senales - 270 km/ 168 miles

We will get up early in the morning to face the first challenge of the day, the Gavia Pass, a typical pass of the Giro d’Italia. The road is a bit narrow in the beginning, so we need to drive carefully but, to get to the top it will be a great fulfillment. We will go on with our itinerary and will get to the king of the alpine passes, the famous Stelvio Pass with its 88-hairpin bends, that will certainly test us. The peak will be approx. at 2800 mt height (9186 ft),an experience that we will celebrate with a Panino with sausage! In the afternoon we will drive along a very long valley, the Senales Valley, where a lot of apple are harvested. We will get to our hotel in the evening.

Day 4: from Senales to Cortina d'Ampezzo - 200 km/ 124 miles

Today will be another day to remember! Today we will get to know the Dolomites which are part of Unesco Heritage and whose colors will surprise us, going from orange to pink: simply terrific! We will go along the funny roads of Fedaia Pass that will lead us to the homonymous lake. We will continue towards the Marmolada Glacier and finally towards Cortinad’Ampezzo, the pearl of the Dolomites. We will enjoy all these peaks, with many paths crossing them, climbing many passes and enjoying the breathless views. We will finally and happily go back to our Hotel.

Day 5: from Cortina d'Ampezzo to Venice - 280 km/ 174 miles

We will sadly leave these peaks of unique beauty, but other wonders will wait for us along the itinerary. Little by little, the mountains will leave the place to the sweet hills and finally we will get the town of Venice, the town built almost entirely on the sea. There we will spend the night.

Day 6: rest day in Venice

Today our motorbikes will rest and we will visit Venice which is part of Unesco Heritage. We will walk along the “calli”, the little narrow tiny roads that cross the town, encountering a lot of people as the number of tourists every year is really impressing. We will get to San Marco square enjoying every little corner of this magical town.

Day 7: from Venice to San Marino - 280 km/ 174 miles

Back on the motorbikes again, we will continue our journey that will take us to the Po Valley. We will pass thru Ferrara and then Bologna to finally get to SanMarino, the oldest republic in the world. This is one of the two independent States on the Italian territory, together with the Vatican. It will be a pleasure walking thru the roads of the city center that will make us feel like in the Middle Age.

Day 8: from San Marino to Florence - 210 km / 130 miles

From San Marino we will get into the Appenines, the chain that represents the backbone of the Italian peninsula. We will see the Fortress of San Leo and we will face the Viamaggio pass, with very funny roads and a lot of beautiful villages up to Florence, that e will reach in the afternoon.

Day 9: rest day in Florence

We will dedicate the entire day to know Florence, a beautiful town where some of the most famous beauties of the Renaissance are. Basically, an open-air show, like the Brunelleschi’s dome, built with state-of-the-art techniques completely unknown until then and the Cathedral with the Tower made by Giotto.

Day 10: from Florence to Siena - 220 km/ 137 miles

Today as well, will be a very lovely day. We will start visiting Pisa with the wonderful Piazza dei Miracoli where the famous Leaning Tower is: it will be a must to take a picture holding the Tower with the hands! After that, we will visit Volterra and San Gimignano the Towers village that used to represent the economic power in Middle Age. We will end our day in Siena, with the wonderful Piazza del Campo where The Palio takes place every year.  

Day 11: from Siena to Perugia - 270 km/ 168 miles

Another lovely day is waiting for us! We will start from The Road of CreteSenesi that offers enchanting views on the Tuscan countryside with the cypress trees that stand out in the horizon and many old little villages along the way. We will get to Umbria finally, that is a less famous region compared to Tuscany but equally beautiful. On our way we will find Cortona, Gubbio, Perugia and many wonderful villages and little old towns

Day 12: from Perugia to Orvieto - 170 km/ 106 miles

From Perugia we will go towards Assisi, where the famous San Francesco abbey stands up. We will get to Spoleto where we can visit the Marmore Falls, among the highest in Italy. We will then get to Orvieto where we will see the lovely cathedral facade. A lot of emotions, one after the other.

Day 13: from Orvieto to Rome - 150 km / 93 miles

We are getting near to the end of our journey but surely there will be a lot of emotions still. The town of Bagnoregio is waiting for us, so is the Bolsena Lake and the Bracciano Lake. We will then get to Rome to sadly give back our motorbikes. We will meet in the evening to have our farewell dinner and remember all the most beautiful moments of this incredible journey.
