Cycling without seasons, seven destinations to get excited about cycling in winter

Travelling by bike even in the winter months is not a feat reserved for the most daring cyclists: all you need to do is to focus, in Italy and abroad, on destinations with a mild climate and able to offer safe routes and dedicated services. The opportunities are not lacking, and the growing attention to cycle tourism proves it. In particular, destinations with a territorial identity, a recognisable cultural context and a structured offer for those travelling on two wheels are popular: Italy leads this ranking in Europe (89 million, according to the 59th Censis report, the number of cycling tourism presences recorded in 2024 in our country), followed by France and Germany. Ideas and useful advice for enthusiasts will animate the next Bicycle Tourism Fair, scheduled to take place in Padua from 27 to 29 March.
