bike4funTOURS and HOLIDAYS


The bicycle is the ideal means of transport for moving along the roads and paths of an important territory from a historical and naturalistic point of view. Thanks to it, even the less prepared will be able to travel discrete distances that will allow you to visit different places during a single outing. Alone, in a group or with your family. A team of trained guides will be able to make you live an experience that is measured. A day, a weekend or a week just for you. We will take care of the logistics, making sure that you have mechanical assistance so as to lead you on the routes in total safety.

The type of experience will be based on the abilities and preparation of the participants.

TEAM BUILDING


The purpose of a corporate event is to help build and strengthen the team, that is to create positive dynamics that allow the achievement of goals, without losing sight of the well-being of all members of the work team. 


The group will move compact and each one will have to pay attention to their companions, always check their position, respect those who have less ability and help them reach the goal.


Cycling in the middle of nature is not easy because you may encounter obstacles and unforeseen events that the group must be able to solve together: no one can be left behind.

Strengthen your TEAM

NOT JUST SPORTS TOURISM

TICINO GUIDE ODV is an association that aims to promote and explore the areas of Lombardy Ticino Valley Park, the largest river park in Europe, through rivers, lakes, moraine hills, river channels and large cities with the aim of reconnecting the relationship between the natural-cultural environment and its inhabitants, involving the ever-increasing number of occasional visitors and tourists. It is an area with some of the most important environmental characteristics in Italy, a UNESCO MAB Biosphere Reserve, part of the Natura 2000 Network and the Trans Insubria Bionet Ecological Corridor. It includes, among other things, Sites of Community Importance and Special Protection Areas. LIVING IN A BEAUTIFUL PLACE between hills and river:
Nature and Culture to EXPLORE, KNOW, PROMOTE, PROTECT, EDUCATE, LIVE.
The project aims to
promote the protection of the reference environment through environmental education activities, reporting of incorrect practices and collaboration in the maintenance of routes in the affected areas, all in support of the competent authorities".

"I have created a system for the development of cycle tourism in Italy. A widespread system of integrated offers and services that promote itineraries and initiatives for slow tourism: bike hotels, affiliated points, charging stations, signage, videos and photos, promotion, participation in fairs, event organization.


I am the
Project Manager of important initiatives for the development of cycling tourism in the province of Varese and in Lombardy's Ticino Park, the largest river park in Europe. I coordinate two groups for a total of 40 guides.

If you want to implement a project of this type in your area, call me. With my team of professionals we will study together the best implementation plan.

Thanks to a certified staff and selected guides I organize unforgettable
TOURS and HOLIDAYS as well as unique TEAM BUILDING and school activities.
