I migliori percorsi WHIP del 2021 in bici da strada

#7 Infinite road, circular route from Lagos

📍 83,6km 🔼 880m️ 🔽 880m

The starting point is the beautiful coastline in the south of Portugal, specifically in Lagos, in the famous Algarve region. This loop route requires a good workout and is more accessible on a gravel bike, as some parts are not quite asphalted and have a somewhat disused surface. The scenery is spectacular throughout and you ride along the coast beside the sea for the entire distance.

#6 From Erba to the world's toughest cycle path

📍 42,2km 🔼 985m️ 🔽 985m️

We move to the lake, starting in Como and arriving at the Colma di Sormano at 1,107m, along what has been described as the world's toughest cycle path. The first few kilometres are of intense ups and downs, but this is just a warm-up for the relentless climb to Sormano, known by enthusiasts as 'the beastly climb' because of the gradients.

#5 In Brittany from Saint-Malo to Arzal

📍194,2km 🔼 416m️ 🔽 465m️

Starting from the corsair town of Saint-Malo and arriving at the port of Arzal, you cross the characteristic canals of central Brittany. Along the way you will come across three emblematic Breton artistic and historical towns: Saint-Malo, Dinan and Rennes. All in all, the route is smooth and ideal to cover in 3 stages.

#4 Dalla città eterna ai castelli Romani

📍 90,9km 🔼 972m️ 🔽 972m

Leaving the hustle and bustle of the capital, this tour reaches the Colli Albani area, near the Castelli Romani Park, a name also given to the group of villages in the area. For a more leisurely ride, since a section of the route passes along the Via Appia, we suggest passing through on public holidays or at least outside rush hour.

#3 Following the steps of the Eroica

📍109,7km 🔼 1288m 🔽 1288m

A route that follows in the footsteps of the Eroica, with "photogenic" landscapes and panoramas. The itinerary is mostly on well-maintained and signposted dirt roads, but be careful, water is scarce along the way so travel with supplies. The route goes through a series of ups and downs that are not too difficult, through a landscape that is not contaminated and is characterised by a very special silence.

#2 EUROVELO 9 From the border Vienna

📍 90,4km 🔼 388m️ 🔽 427m

The European long-distance cycle route EuroVelo 9 connects the Baltic Sea with the Adriatic Sea over a total distance of 1,930 kilometres. This stage starts at the Slovenian border and runs all the way to Vienna. From the small town of Blansko you travel along romantic vineyards and wine cellars, historic towns and numerous thermal baths, inviting you to a relaxing cycle tour.

#1 Loop of the stelvio

📍 62,4km 🔼 1860m️ 🔽 1867m️

The most demanding and difficult mountain pass for any cyclist. The 25 km asphalt road climbs to the Stelvio peak at 2,757 metres above sea level after 48 hairpin bends and gradients of up to 15%. Definitely one of the most famous climbs in Europe, open from May to October, it should be done at least once in a lifetime.
