Why travel with us?

"This is not about a lifestyle, it is about a life, style is just an option." from the film °Step into Liquid°

Fitness, Outdoor Sports, and Travel is our passion, weather it is cycling scenic back country hills, skiing in the Alps or climbing on a small Greek Island. Nothing gives us greater pleasure than to inspire other individuals to travel by bike, foot or other human powered means and along the way take the challenge ourselves to learn more about the world and fellow man. For us it a true joy to share our adventures and life with other travelers.

Italiaoutdoors Tour

We don’t offer vacations to every destination or pretend to be the perfect program for every level. We understand that when it comes to active lifestyle vacations one size does not fit all. We are a small company ran by individuals that feel life must be balanced and therefore place just as much weight on riding, hiking, or climbing as we do on our end-of-the day wine, good food, and sharing our adventure.

Our tours are small, 2-10 persons, allowing flexibility and spontaneous fun, plus personal service. Our typical day starts in the saddle or with packs ready around 8:30 and ends when it ends; it could be 10 to 100 kilometers, perhaps a couple of climbs and several medieval towns later. That’s the beauty of an outdoor trip; spinning or hiking to explore until your heart is content. We ride/hike in groups, we pedal with partners, we spin solo, you ride/hike anyway you want. You ride or hike where the locals ride and you are guided by a local. Lots of fun is the primary objective in an Italiaoutdoors adventure, which usually involves education of the mind, plenty of adventure, good food and wine, and some sweat and healthy fatigue in the body at the end of the day.

 

Is this the right program for you?

If you like to learn about a culture, history, food and wine, and perhaps about your inner self these programs will offer you the perfect platform to launch your adventure. We give you 5 star services so that you can a 5 star experience without stress or worry. Our program tours are designed to meet individual needs and we are flexible and knowledgeable enough in the activity and area to make daily adjustments as needed. Our guests enjoy relaxing evenings, lively discussion, good food and a few glasses of good of wine!

 

Eating is about healthy selection, local varitey, and well made, not presentation!

Weather you have a relaxing juant or you want challenge and push yourself all day, travel and adventure ignites a thirst and craving for food. Fortunately, fresh food and fine dining is as easily found in Italy as are outdoor activities and churches. When it comes to unforgettable meals we go for fresh local specialties, locations frequented by locals, whose personalities add as much to the experience as the food itself.

 

Accommodations

We promise comfortable, charming and even luxurious homes, chateaus or rural inns that we’ve came across during our explorations and travels. We program the week to be best located for the type riding or hiking we will be doing. We choice routes and attractions then make the hotel selection. We do not think a guest will want to send all day in a hotel room, but if you choice to do so you will be in comfortable surroundings.
