May marks the arrival of the Giro d’Italia, a celebration of cycling that winds its way through Italy’s diverse and captivating landscapes. It’s a time when riders of all levels are encouraged to discover the country’s most picturesque roads and cycling trails, stretching from the Alpine north to the sun-drenched south.

Here are six specially designed routes, each inspired by the spirit of the Giro and the character of its most iconic stages. These journeys go beyond simple cycling — they invite travellers to connect with local traditions, admire the natural beauty of the land, and embrace a slower, more mindful way of moving through Italy.
