Sportive Breaks offer the biggest selection of European Gran Fondo and Cyclo-Sportive events, and this trip is surely one of the finest of the lot. Our lucky winner will spend four days in the lovely spa town of Bormio, with daily rides including both sides of the Stelvio, the mighty Mortirolo and stunning Gavia.
With two fully supported route options each day, the riding will be suitable for all abilities as long as you're prepared for a bit of climbing. On the road you will be looked after by Giro d’Italia stage winner Andrea Ferrigato and his team of local riders.
Sportive Breaks are also members of ABTA and ATOL, with a team of highly experienced professionals who have been organising cycling trips for over 25 years, so you know you're in safe hands.
There are dates for this trip in June and September, and our lucky winner can choose the dates of the one they would like to book onto. The rides and accommodation are all taken care of, so you just need to handle flights, visas and a bike to ride around this truly epic part of the world.
