Veneto Gravel (2024)

VENETO GRAVEL

THE BIGGEST GRAVEL BIKEPACKING EVENT IN THE WORLD

Veneto Gravel, the world's first unsupported gravel bikepacking event, offers a 720 km adventure through nature, hills, and Venetian cities in total "self-support." The route, loaded on your GPS, guides you through the wonders of Veneto, connecting its secrets in a unique ring.

THE ROUTE

Discover the complexity of Veneto: cities, countryside, plains, sea, lakes, and mountains. The Veneto Gravel Classic, a 720km and +4300D ring born in 2017, evolves yearly for a renewed experience. Two shorter rings, Beach and Lake, cater to varying preferences.

NEWBIE

For newcomers, Veneto Gravel introduces the Newbie route in 2024—200km and +2800D—a perfect entry into the gravel bikepacking world, exploring mountains and Prosecco hills.

THE ADVENTURE

Escape the comfort zone with Veneto Gravel, dictating different rhythms through pedal strokes, dawn, sunset, and encounters in Venetian taverns. Choose your adventure style: non-stop, under the stars with a sleeping bag, or cozy accommodations.

HISTORICAL CENTERS

Ride through historical centers like Treviso, Verona, Belluno, Padua, and charming towns such as Feltre, Bassano del Grappa, Arquà Petrarca, and Montagnana. Experience the journey through time on your bicycle amidst famous Venetian villas.
