Cycling in Italy

[James Zwiebel]

We'll be in northwestern Italy the first week of July to do some road cycling. Would anyone be able
to share cue sheets for the Lombardy, Piemonte, alpine and/or lake regions? We're interested in
50-80 mile rides in those areas.

Thanks!

Here's a tour company that goes to those regions.

You might peruse the descriptions of various stages of the rides described in the Trento Bike pages:

You might put a couple of destinations high on your list:

Stelvio, Gavia, and Bernina Passes, as well as any part of the Dolomites heading to Cortina
d'Ampezzo.

Hi James There's a tour of 'some of' the Dolomites and over into Austria written up here...

for each days cycling we
did.Cheeers... Allan.

i have ridden in piemonte a number of times, and will return there in two weeks for another trip.
don't worry about cue sheets. either pick up a touring club italiano (TCI) map of the region,
1:200,000, or in any of the towns look for maps that are 1:100,000. unlike france where there are
good centralized sources for IGN maps, in italy things are less organized. given that, there are a
good set of maps for the piemonte area that are 1:100,000 and will let you pick out routes.

buon viaggio,

peter
