Do you want to travel more or fewer kilometers prior to the Granfondo? Which can. Ask the tour guide about alternative routes. We are happy to help you!

Short-short will most likely still be the dress code here. Enjoy a nice late summer in Northern Italy! Enjoy a cup of coffee in the sun and have lunch outside on the terrace. It's all still possible in October! Do you want to escape the wet autumn in the Netherlands? Then this is your trip!
