Discover The Riviera, Italian Bike Festival & La Gialla Sportive

This special edition of our Riviera Cycling Escape places you right at the heart of Italian cycling culture. Over six days, you’ll enjoy a mix of guided road rides, including some challenging days with up to 2,000 metres of elevation and the iconic climb of Monte Cippo, as well as a scenic sunset gravel ride, coastal relaxation, exceptional food and wine, and full access to the Italian Bike Festival — one of the biggest cycling events in Europe.

You’ll have the chance to test the latest bikes on the legendary Misano World Circuit, meet leading industry brands, and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Italy’s cycling community. Your trip also features a sunset gravel ride with dinner and wine tasting, plus entry to the La Galla Sportive, offering an unforgettable ride through the rolling hills and coastal roads of Emilia-Romagna.

This is the perfect blend of riding, culture, challenge, events and seaside relaxation — a truly unique cycling experience on the Riviera.

Your home for the trip is a premium 4-star hotel in the heart of Cattolica, perfectly positioned between the beach and the lively Riviera promenade. The hotel offers a comfortable blend of modern style and coastal relaxation, complete with a swimming pool, spa access and a private serviced beach for long, easy afternoons.

Rooms are bright and contemporary, set up with single beds in shared rooms, with the option to upgrade to a private room or a double-bed arrangement if preferred. Cyclists are well looked after, with a designated bike room offering basic service support and daily washing of your bike kit, ensuring you’re always ready to roll the next morning.

It’s an ideal base for exploring the Riviera, unwinding between rides, and embracing the Italian seaside lifestyle at its best.

Emilia-Romagna is renowned for its food culture — and during this trip you’ll enjoy some of its finest flavours. Daily breakfasts, lunches and dinners are included, with wine and soft drinks always provided. Expect fresh seafood, regional pasta, and traditional Romagnolo cuisine.

A highlight of the trip is the sunset gravel ride that leads to a spectacular dinner paired with local wine tasting, set in a scenic location showcasing the beauty and character of the region. With free time to explore Cattolica and Rimini Historic town centre, you’ll also have the chance to fully embrace the Riviera lifestyle.
