The best road cycling routes around Valdobbiadene

The Mire road winds through the territory of Corbanese, a hamlet of Tarzo, representing one of the most spectacular stretches of the Prosecco hills. This ridge itinerary ideally connects the area of Tarzo with that of Vittorio Veneto, offering a privileged perspective on the famous "feuds" of the area. The route is characterized by a succession of ups and downs that cut through high-altitude vineyards, where the slopes become extreme and cultivation becomes art. Along the Mire, the horizon opens to the south onto the Trevigiano plain and to the north onto the Belluno Prealps, creating a unique visual contrast between the geometric rigor of the rows and the wild nature of the peaks. It is an iconic place for those seeking silence and the raw beauty of the territory, far from the more trafficked valley routes.

Located at the foot of the Treviso Prealps, the Abbey of Santa Maria di Follina is one of the greatest masterpieces of late Romanesque and Cistercian Gothic style in Italy. Originally founded by Benedictine monks and brought to its greatest splendor by the Cistercians in the 13th century, the abbey amazes with the harmony of its proportions and the spirituality it emanates. The true jewel of the complex is the cloister, completed in 1268: an architectural masterpiece where paired, single, or spiral-decorated columns support elegant arches, creating a unique play of light and shadow. Inside the church, the majestic altarpiece and the statue of the Madonna of the Sacred Chalice make the site a vibrant pilgrimage destination even today. A place where the art, silence, and history of the wool-making monks are inextricably intertwined.

In the heart of the Prosecco Superiore DOCG hills, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene represents the purest essence of heroic viticulture. This village is surrounded by a natural amphitheatre of very steep vineyards, where human labour has blended for centuries with a landscape shaped by the characteristic "ciglioni", the grassy terraces that follow the curves of the land. The hamlet is famous for being an integral part of the prestigious Cartizze area, a small patch of land of only 107 hectares where the sun exposure and soil composition gift the most prized bubbles of the denomination. Strolling among historic cellars and belvedere points, you breathe in an authentic hospitality linked to the wine culture. Among the most curious and beloved places stands out the Osteria senz’Oste, a rustic farmhouse where visitors can refresh themselves in complete autonomy, celebrating an indissoluble bond between territory, trust, and peasant conviviality.

Rolle, a hamlet of Cison di Valmarino near Refrontolo, is the first village in Italy to have received FAI protection as an "FAI Viewpoint". Described by the poet Andrea Zanzotto as "a bundle of houses in the green", the village is nestled among hills embroidered with Prosecco Superiore vineyards. With its panoramic church and timeless atmosphere, it represents the most authentic soul of the UNESCO Prosecco Hills, offering breathtaking views that seem hand-painted.
