Expedition Master

The afternoon begins with a departure from Bologna, the starting point for an immersive itinerary among the symbols of Emilian automotive excellence.

The first stop is Maranello, the city that symbolizes the Ferrari legend. Here, a guided tour allows visitors to explore the Ferrari Museum, with a fascinating journey through dream cars, cutting-edge technology, and legendary history. The experience also includes an overview of the Fiorano circuit, a track reserved for official car testing and an exclusive visit to the production areas, where design and engineering come together under the influence of big names in contemporary architecture, including Renzo Piano and Mario Cucinella.

The day continues towards Sant'Agata Bolognese, the historic home of the Lamborghini brand. Inside the Lamborghini Automobile Museum, the evolution of the brand takes shape through iconic models – from the legendary Miura to the powerful Aventador – up to the latest hybrid innovations such as the Sian and the new Countach. A journey through sixty years of style, performance, and cutting-edge technology.

After a first part dedicated to four wheels, the journey continues in Bologna, specifically in the Borgo Panigale district, the beating heart of the Ducati world. Here, every detail reveals a deep passion for two wheels, starting with the company car park, filled with the employees' own motorcycles.

The evening comes to life with a visit to the Museo Ducati an iconic place that welcomes visitors with an evocative helmet-shaped theater. The exhibition ranges from legendary models such as the Desmosedici GP, the Cagiva Elefant, winner of the 1990 Dakar Rally, and a rich collection of single-cylinder and L-twin engines, true symbols of Italian engineering. The section dedicated to Desmodromic distribution is particularly fascinating, displayed in a clear and evocative manner. Among the curiosities is the Sogno, the elegant 18x24 mm camera produced by Ducati until 1952, a true collector's item that was given to customers with the purchase of a motorcycle.

Following this, a welcome aperitif and introductory briefing will kick off a special evening, concluding with an exclusive dinner inside the museum. A unique opportunity to experience the Ducati atmosphere up close and share experiences in a setting full of charm and adrenaline.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience for every enthusiast: hop on a Ducati Multistrada – in the V2 S and V4 S versions – and ride the same mountain routes where these models were born, tested, and perfected. An extraordinary journey through the most spectacular passes of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.

It was along iconic passes such as the Futa and Raticosa that, over twenty years ago, Ducati test riders found the perfect terrain to shape a motorcycle capable of adapting to all road conditions. A tribute to the territory that forged the character of the Multistrada, so much so that initially it was even thought to call it “Futa,” in honor of these legendary curves.

Curves, hairpin bends, and breathtaking views become the stage for an immersive riding test, combining technique, emotion, and absolute freedom on two wheels.

To top off a unique experience combining engines, history, and design, the day begins with arrival at the Mugello racetrack, one of the most iconic circuits in the world of motorcycling.

Here, you can experience the excitement of MotoGP firsthand, thanks to a privileged seat in the Ducati Grandstand at Correntaio, one of the most spectacular spots on the track. Every lap becomes a rush of adrenaline and passion, in an atmosphere charged with enthusiasm and cheering.

It's the perfect way to conclude an immersive journey into the heart of Motor Valley, between technical excellence and a love for two wheels.

The day begins with an itinerary that combines different landscapes and attractions: from the rolling hills of Bologna and the passes of the Apennines, the journey continues northward, crossing highways and expressways until reaching the majesty of the Alps and the heart of the Dolomites.

At kilometer 160, a special stop enriches the route: the DAR – Dainese Research Archive, an exhibition center and historical archive of the Vicenza-based company. A place where innovation and passion for motorcycle safety are transformed into culture, research, and design.

Continuing north, the route begins to offer authentic thrills at kilometer 254, with the Primolano Steps: a series of curves carved into the rock that mark the entrance to the heart of the Alps.

From here, the last 72 kilometers are a true ode to riding. Perfect hairpin bends, immersive climbs, and breathtaking landscapes accompany you up to the 2,236 meters of Passo Giau, one of the most spectacular and iconic passes in the entire Dolomite range. A symbolic milestone for anyone who loves riding in the mountains and being in touch with nature.

The day ends in Cortina d'Ampezzo, an elegant alpine resort known for its style and its focus on the 2026 Winter Olympics. With dinners at high altitude, enchanting views, and a lively atmosphere, a memorable stage comes to an end, marked by beauty, adrenaline, and a passion for the road.

A day that needs no introduction for those who love the road: the queen stage of the Dolomites represents the highest point, in every sense, of this journey. A legendary route that crosses ten Alpine passes, offering an incredible variety of curves, gradients, views, and charm.

Falzarego (2,109 m), Valparola (2,192 m), Gardena (2,121 m), Sella (2,244 m), Pordoi (2,239 m), Fedaia (2,057 m), Costalunga (1,745 m), Nigra (1,690 m): a sequence of names that, on their own, evoke freedom, adventure, and wonder. Each pass offers a different perspective, each kilometer is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and be inspired by the landscape.

To complete the experience, take the cable car up to Lagazuoi, over 2,700 meters, for a moment of rest with a view of the “roof of the world.” But the journey does not stop at the surface: the descent passes through a trench dug into the rock during World War I, an exciting route that combines historical memory and natural beauty in a single, intense experience.

After crossing some of the most spectacular passes in the Dolomites, the route continues towards one of South Tyrol's scenic gems: Lake Carezza. Here, the motorcycles are left behind for a refreshing walk around the iridescent lake, framed by dense forests and the imposing peaks of the Latemar. A moment of calm and contemplation, immersed in a fairytale landscape.

In the late afternoon, we arrive in Merano, an elegant spa town at the foot of the Alps, where the hotel's wellness center awaits participants. A perfect opportunity to relax, recharge your batteries, and end a busy day with a well-deserved moment of tranquility, surrounded by comfort and alpine atmosphere.

Which landscape is more impressive: the majestic Dolomites or the spectacular high-altitude roads of the Western Alps? If in doubt, this itinerary chooses to experience both.

The day begins with an absolute icon: the Stelvio Pass. At an altitude of 2,758 meters, it was for years the highest paved road in Europe, and even today it remains one of the most sought-after destinations for motorcycle enthusiasts.

Crossing it at the beginning of the season means finding yourself in a surreal landscape: newly reopened after the long winter, the pass is flanked by walls of snow that in some places can exceed five meters. At the top, a small alpine village, a ski resort, and the highest ATM in Europe testify to the uniqueness of this place, where nature, ingenuity, and passion come together in an extraordinary setting.

It is no coincidence that the Stelvio is one of the most beloved roads by motorcyclists around the world.

The journey continues with a succession of breathtaking scenery and memorable roads. After the Stelvio Pass, the day continues along the picturesque Gavia Pass, one of the wildest and most authentic in the Alps, framed by the Bianco and Nero lakes and an atmosphere that evokes high-altitude adventure.

The climb to the Tonale Pass (1,883 m) introduces a new chapter in the itinerary: from extreme altitudes, the route gradually descends towards gentler landscapes until it reaches Madonna di Campiglio, one of Italy's most renowned mountain resorts, famous for its elegance and its history linked to winter sports.

The grand finale takes place in a completely different environment: at an altitude of just 70 meters, Lake Garda welcomes visitors with a mild climate, centuries-old olive trees, and Mediterranean-style views. A symbolic transition from the alpine world to the lake world, ending the journey with a touch of light, relaxation, and Italian beauty.

The last leg of the journey is not simply a conclusion, but a moment of great symbolic and cultural significance. It is Culture Day, a return to Bologna that crosses territories rich in scenic beauty and historical significance.

The journey begins along the peaceful shores of Lake Garda, following a 45-kilometer stretch that offers relaxing views and evocative lake panoramas. It is a gentle start, immersed in a Mediterranean landscape of olive trees, villages, and light reflecting on the water.

Upon entering the Adige Valley, the road changes pace: the route winds between two mountain ranges that face each other proudly—Monte Baldo on one side and the Lessinia plateau on the other—offering wide curves, elevation changes, and views suspended between the plains and the mountains.

An itinerary that combines nature, geography, and memory, accompanying participants to Bologna with the awareness of having completed a journey that represents an experience, a path, a shared story on two wheels.

The day continues with a stop for lunch in Verona, a city with timeless charm. Here, the imposing Roman Arena dominates the center, a symbol of history and culture reminiscent of the Colosseum, but in the heart of northern Italy.

In the afternoon, a short coffee break in Mantua offers another immersion in Renaissance art and architecture. The arrival in the city is an evocative moment, with the urban skyline standing out on the horizon beyond the bridge over the artificial lake formed by the Mincio River.

The journey ends in the late afternoon with the return of the motorcycles to the Ducati headquarters in Borgo Panigale. Over 1,500 kilometers mark the route on two wheels, but the real background is made up of emotions, views, and shared stories, experiences that remain well beyond the odometer.
