Cycling day trip from Vicenza to Bassano del Grappa

Ready for a scenic ride through the heart of the Veneto region? This route takes you from the historic city of Vicenza—famous for its Palladian architecture—north to the charming town of Bassano del Grappa, known for its picturesque wooden bridge and delicious grappa.

Covering just over 43 km, most of your journey will be on quiet roads and comfortable cycleways, cruising through peaceful countryside and cute villages. You’ll have some gentle climbs (about 170 meters of ascent overall), but nothing too taxing. The route is predominantly paved, so you can expect a smooth ride with only the occasional stretch of paving stones or a short, less-finished path.

As you leave the Renaissance elegance of Vicenza, the landscape gradually shifts to the pre-Alpine foothills, and you might spot vineyards and fields along the way. Once you roll into Bassano del Grappa, take a well-earned break by the Brenta River—don’t forget to check out the famous Ponte degli Alpini!

Perfect for a relaxed day out, this ride offers a mix of art, nature, and classic Italian charm. Buona pedalata!
