Highlights
Outing Highlights
A continuous cross‑region link: Aquileia to Genova
The itinerary traces a long historic corridor—passing major art cities and a string of historic villages from Aquileia through Treviso, Vicenza, Verona, Mantova and on to Genova—designed to let riders discover northern Italy step by step.
Two paced options: medium and low training itineraries
The Via Postumia is offered in configurations for cyclists of differing fitness: a medium‑training 10‑stage plan (difficulty 3 on a 1–5 scale) and an extended lower‑-training option with more, shorter stages (difficulty 2), allowing a broad range of riders to join.
Local economies, guided service and practical backing
The project aims to boost micro‑economies along the route and is delivered as a guided cycling tour with options such as bike rental, full luggage service by van, mechanical assistance and accommodation booking to keep the focus on riding and discovery.
