Cycling day trip from Pergine Valsugana to Bassano del Grappa

This ride takes you from Pergine Valsugana—a charming town nestled between lakes and mountains—to the vibrant heart of Bassano del Grappa, known for its iconic wooden bridge and world-famous grappa. Covering a little over 100 km, you’ll roll mostly on smooth, quiet country roads with the Dolomites as your dramatic backdrop.

There’s a fair amount of climbing (about 1,900 meters of elevation gain!), so bring your climbing legs. Don’t worry though, the descents offer sweeping views and a great chance to catch your breath. Most of the route is paved, with some stretches on dedicated cycleways and scenic paths—perfect for taking in the landscapes of Trentino and Veneto.

As you glide into Bassano, reward yourself with a stroll across the historic Ponte Vecchio and maybe sample some of the local grappa—the town’s pride and joy. This is a picturesque and varied ride, ideal for cyclists looking for a bit of adventure and a big dose of North Italian flavor!
