Supreme Cycling Experience

Ride the Legend

The climbs you have watched for twenty years, ridden at your own tempo — with a crew, a van and a mechanic never far behind.

2027 Italian Alps Tour

Our tours

Four ways
to ride Italy

Every tour is shaped around the riders on it — routes, pace, distances and dates. Nothing here is fixed until we have spoken to you.

Custom tours

Don't see the ride
you're looking for?

Then tell us about it. We build custom tours anywhere in the world — you name the climbs you want, how far you like to ride and when. We design the route, book the hotels and put the crew on the road.

Clubs, teams, families, or a group of friends who have been talking about the same trip for years.

Why PeaksPal

Built around
the rider

Most companies hand you a fixed route and a group to keep up with. We start the other way round — with who is riding, how far they want to go, and what they came to see.

Every pace is welcome

Groups split by speed each morning and regroup at the coffee stop. Nobody is dropped, nobody is held back.
Fully supported on the road

Van, mechanic and ride leaders with you every day. Food, water, and a lift over the last climb if you want one.
Small groups, real attention

We cap our trips deliberately low. You will know everyone's name by the second day, including the crew's.
Local knowledge, not a spreadsheet

Our routes come from riding these roads for years — which side of the valley to climb, which bar makes the good espresso.

The experience

What a week
looks like

No stage races, no timing chips. A week of good roads, unhurried mornings and dinners that run long.

Before you go

A conversation, not a checkout

We talk first — about your riding, your goals and who is coming with you. Then we shape the route, book the hotels and send you a plan you have had a say in.

On the road

Ride your own tempo

A stretching session, breakfast, then out — riding from the door or a short transfer to the start. The van leapfrogs ahead with water, snacks and fruit. Back at the hotel by mid-afternoon, free time to recover, and dinner together every night.

After the ride

Everything handled

Bikes washed and checked overnight. Somewhere good to eat, a glass of something local, and no obligation to talk about watts unless you want to.

“I have done a lot of these trips. This is the first one where I finished the week feeling like I had been on holiday and ridden well, instead of having to pick one.”

Your guide

Umberto
Pitzalis

Born in Rome, based in the Caribbean. A former professional cyclist who has spent more than twenty years designing and leading cycling journeys around the world.

Umberto holds a degree in Sports Science and works as a specialist athletic trainer with professional athletes across several sports. On a PeaksPal week that background is the difference between a holiday that happens to involve bikes and one built around how you actually ride.

His approach blends high-performance training with adventure and cultural exploration — the reason our days end in a piazza rather than on a turbo trainer.

He has deep expertise across road, gravel and mountain biking, developed over decades on very different terrain, and writes personalised, results-driven programmes tailored to each rider's goals.

If you want to arrive at a particular climb in a particular shape, he is the person to tell — well before you land.
