Manifesto
“La GranVia” is not a race nor a challenge against other competitors. It is a ride, an experience of mindful exploration on two wheels.
A ‘Great Way’, a long route through water, hills, and plateaus, approached as a gravel journey in which you will be the protagonists.
The route features a wide loop starting in Susegana (Treviso), passing through the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, the Asolo Hills, the Asiago Plateau, and returning to the plains via small villages and larger towns.
Your companion on this journey will be our narrative guide—a cultural story that allows you to discover and recognize the beauties, histories, and curiosities of the territory you cross. Because a journey is more than just a GPX track.
