This morning savor your first exquisite breakfast at the hotel and get ready for a fantastic bike tour through the rolling hills of Prosecco, where the cultivation of vines is almost a religion. The breathtaking panorama of the snow-covered Alps provides a stunning backdrop to today's ride. Cross the Piave River, and observe the Prosecco vineyards dominating the surrounding steep hillsides. The riding terrain becomes hilly, with short but steep ascents, but the panoramas will make all your efforts worthwhile. If you feel like adding some elevation gain, we recommend taking the avid option through the picturesque village of Rolle. Your experience in the Prosecco Hills will not be complete until you sip a glass of this beloved sparkling wine!

Today, you'll have the opportunity to ride along tranquil country roads to Bassano del Grappa, a gem that lies at the foothills of the Monte Grappa massif from which it takes its name. Take a stroll through its vibrant city center before crossing the old bridge—the Ponte Vecchio—the best-known monument in town. Originally designed by the visionary designer Andrea Palladio in 1569, this bridge is made entirely of wood and is considered an engineering masterpiece hard to replicate even with today’s technology. If you want to mingle with the locals, pay a visit to the most ancient distillery called Nardini. Next, we suggest you visit the medieval walled town of Marostica, characterized by a lower and an upper castle connected by walls that flow down the hillside. Follow your route all the way to the piazza, the hub of life in Marostica, which boasts a gigantic chessboard at its center. Every other September, locals dress in period costume and perform a human chess game as living pawns in the town square. Soak in the atmosphere of the medieval times as you savor a creamy gelato at the caffè centrale before cycling back to Asolo!

It's time to say goodbye to the Prosecco hills. However, before packing your bags for the trip, take the opportunity of one last early morning spin to Possagno to visit a world-famous destination. At the feet of Monte Grappa, rising high above the town, lies an authentic treasure. The majestic Temple of Canova is a fusion of the Greek Parthenon in Athens and the Pantheon in Rome. Once back in Asolo, your Trek Travel host will meet you at the hotel at 11:00 AM to take your bike and say farewell before you continue your travels.
