Surrounded by wild nature, breathtaking, at 830m above sea level in Valtaro<\/strong> there is a bike-hotel<\/strong> that awaits all those who are fond of mountain<\/strong> biking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Tolasudolsa\"<\/p>\n

It is the home of Giorgio\u00a0and Valeria where each day share with travelers their passion for cycling and the love for this land. It has a strange name, that I do not know pronounce: it is called Tolasudolsa<\/a><\/em><\/strong> that in Parmesan\u00a0dialect means “take it easy” which is the motto of the new life of Valeria and Giorgio.<\/p>\n

\"Valeria<\/p>\n

We talked to them fro the coming\u00a0festival IT.A.CA’ that will be attended by them\u00a0too with a itinerary-event that you can’t miss\u00a0and they told us a bit of their history and their green hospitality.<\/p>\n

We are husband and wife, Giorgio and Valeria Genovese, transplanted directly in 2014 from the stressful and chaotic Milanese hinterland in Valtaro. So\u00a0we immersed ourselves in the almost untouched nature. We abandoned relatives, our\u00a0work as employees and home to totally change our\u00a0lives in search of a “good life.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How was\u00a0Tolasudolsa born?<\/h3>\n

The passion of both for outdoor sports and above all Giorgio’s love of\u00a0thirty years for the 2 wheels, motorcycle before and mountain bike then,\u00a0inspire us\u00a0to create something unique and innovative for these places: a non-hotel accommodation mainly dedicated to bikers, especially those who prefer the ALL-MOUNTAIN, and their bikes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

IT.A.CA’, the responsible tourism festival, will be the perfect opportunity to learn about this innovative<\/strong> accommodation<\/strong>\u00a0dedicated to mountain-bikers, and these territories<\/strong> that are still little<\/strong> known<\/strong>. Giorgio, National Academy of Mountain Bike’s Guide, will take us on an incredible<\/strong> three-day itinerary<\/strong> on foot<\/strong>, accompanied by three nice donkeys<\/strong>, or mountain<\/strong> biking<\/strong>, from a small village in the Parma<\/strong> Apennines<\/strong>, Borgotaro (easily accessible by train from Parma) through forests, meadows and breathtaking landscapes of Apennines, up to reach the Ligurian<\/strong> sea<\/strong> and the romantic Bay of Silence\u00a0of Sestri Levante.<\/p>\n

\"Itinerary<\/p>\n

Before leaving for the journey, you will be able to stay in one of three<\/strong> comfortable<\/strong> rooms<\/strong> of Tolasudolsa, where there will be a\u00a0good organic<\/strong> breakfast<\/strong>, incredible views, a storage room for the for bicycles and a bike<\/strong> repair<\/strong>\u00a0workshop\u00a0waiting for you\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
