TRAVEL THE WORLD WITH US
Lago Maggiore Bike Tours…
A name that clearly defines its original “mission”: creating amazing bike tours around Lake Maggiore. No doubt about that.
However, the desire to ride and use the bike not only as a sporting or tourist tool but as a means of travel led me to discover this wonderful way of exploring the world about five years ago. Crossings and loops through Italy, Iceland, Morocco, the Canary Islands, Scotland, and who knows how many more destinations will come next.
The next step was simple: combining my expertise as a guide and (former) sports event coordinator with my long-standing passion for organizing group trips (once by motorbike) to share these emotions with all of you and create a new series of EPIC experiences! That’s how the idea of creating these guided travel experiences was born.
The mission? To create journeys that leave a mark.
Let me tell you right away — there’s not much that’s purely touristy about this. While they aren’t races or extreme adventures, the trips we’ve created are certainly not casual rides. They are real itinerant journeys with their own challenges. Some trips require a solid level of fitness. Or, more simply, knowing how to handle certain weather conditions. On a trip, you face whatever comes your way, and you need to be prepared. At the same time, each of these experiences has an educational element. Never packed a bike for a flight? Don’t know what gear to bring? That’s what we’re here for.
Those who have been following us know that we started this new chapter exactly a year ago. We’ve already guided several people in Lanzarote — a trip designed as a helping hand for those new to international bike travel.
But now things have evolved. After great effort, we’ve finally achieved the goal of offering five guided trips. Here they are, with a note: although you’ll find all these trips on our website, the links will take you to the landing page of “The Outwilders” — the new platform and project for adventure travel experiences that I’ve created, still connected to our beloved Lago Maggiore Bike Tours.
Lanzarote Bikepacking Experience
At the beginning of the year, when winter is still making our teeth chatter between the lake and the mountains, we head off on a bikepacking adventure to the Isla De Fuego. A technically well-balanced trip, perfect for those who want to learn how to travel and explore the world this way.

Gran Tour Lago Maggiore
Here it is, as present as ever — our beloved lake. This trip isn’t for everyone, as some stages can be quite tough. However, it’s designed to be the most accessible journey in terms of cost and versatility — ideal for those who want to try this type of travel without going to the other side of the world. A shorter version for less experienced riders will be available soon. Find out more here: https://theoutwilders.com/en/cycling/lagomaggiorebikepacking-eng
Scotland Tour Edition
This land is stunning, but it has so much to offer that you’d need months to truly discover it all. That’s why I’ve created an itinerary that captures the essence of this place. A clever mix of cycle touring and adventurous bikepacking from Edinburgh to Edinburgh — and everything you’ll encounter along the way!

Scotland Wild Edition
With excitement and great energy, I present this trip, designed as a true adventure — made easier by the fact that you’ll have a guide. But be ready to face some serious challenges. We’ll roam the wild valleys of the Cairngorms National Park! Find out more here: https://theoutwilders.com/en/cycling/scozia-bikepacking-wildedition-eng
Fuerteventura Wild Ride
After the gentle trails of Lanzarote, we’ll dive into the rugged, pure, and wild side of the Canary Islands. Fuerteventura is a demanding island, and this trip is for experienced riders who are comfortable with rough terrain. Expect an intense mix of wild trails, deserts, and breathtaking beaches.

These five trips have required an incredible amount of work, heart, and sleepless nights. But we know they have the potential to capture your hearts and leave a lasting mark — powerful, authentic, and emotionally rich experiences!
I truly hope to have you join us. In the meantime, happy riding!
