Imagine running rapids that haven't been seen in six decades and camping on beaches that didn't exist a mere few months earlier. Welcome to Cataract Canyon.

The muddy current of the Colorado River carries our rafts through the red rock walls of Cataract Canyon in southern Utah's Canyonlands National Park. The roar of a rapid grows louder somewhere downstream. Before we reach the tumultuous churn, the rafts pull up to a small white-sand beach. Beyond, the towering walls pull back to make room for a wide drainage, called a side canyon, where Gypsum Creek trundles in to the meet the river. We'll pitch our tents here, in this remote and wild spot, and sleep under the glittering stars before continuing on tomorrow.

Reachable via ancient mule trails, these centuries-old farms-turned-inns serve some of France's most historic cheeses and offer a glimpse at the nation's pastoral past.

I'd been hiking for five hours and a fine, freezing rain had just begun to fall. Some years, I've been told, May in eastern France's Vosges mountains can be almost aestival; others, it's stormy and frigid. Distant cow bells interrupted the near-silence, and I unfolded my waterlogged map, peering at a small dot that was rendered real as I climbed a hill and finally glimpsed a long stone building whose red roof stood out against the rolling green hills, its windows glowing with promised warmth. I had reached Rothenbrunnen, a ferme-auberge (farm-inn) typical of these verdant pastures, and my home for the night.

"The marcaires, at the time, started to develop the habit of serving a bit of bacon or a few potatoes to passing hikers," explained Sabine Naegel, who works for Alsace Destination Tourisme. "That's kind of how it came to be."
The Association des Fermes-Auberges du Haut-Rhin, which was created in 1971 by local farmers, formalised the arrangement. Today, 41 member farmer-innkeepers espouse shared values of conviviality, simplicity and generosity. Their charter outlines environmental and touristic standards, as well as an essential trait: members must be farmers, first and foremost.

Bettiol, who recently competed in the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France and won the 2024 Milan-Turin race, is now representing Italy in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. "Then I'm heading back to Tuscany," he says. "I'm finally gonna have time off… for professional cyclists it's difficult to define 'home' because you're almost always outside. But as soon as possible, I go home to Castelfiorentino."

For Bettiol, being in Italy means tackling its bike trails for pleasure, not points – and refuelling at the culinary pitstops along the way. "It's good to see Florence, Siena, Pisa," says Bettiol. "But in Italy, there are small towns full of history, beautiful scenery and great food. And behind the food there's always a story."

Here are Bettiol's top cycling adventures in Italy.

Alberto Bettiol is racing for Italy at the Paris Olympics but can't wait to head home for a joyride. Here are his top Italian rides, from pilgrimage trails to e-biking through Rome.

Many visitors come to Italy for the art, others for the food. But wander outside its masterpiece-filled museums and the world-renowned restaurants in its jewel-like cities to find astounding natural landscapes of massive lakes, rugged mountain ranges and idyllic hills dotted with postcard-perfect villages. In short: a cyclist's dream.

Italy's 20 regions are crisscrossed with excellent bike trails, nourishing a thriving cycling industry. We asked Alberto Bettiol, a competitive road cyclist with the UCI WorldTeam EF Education–EasyPost and a Tuscan native, for his top Italian cycling adventures.

A muleteer and his horses follow the 39-mile, high-altitude path to Choquequirao, an Incan settlement built in the same era as Machu Picchu. While many travelers hike the full route—which can take two or three days round trip by foot—others ride pack animals for some or all of the journey.

Sheldon Chalet, accessible only by helicopter, perches 5,818 feet above the Ruth Glacier Great Gorge—an abyss in Alaska’s Denali National Park and Reserve that’s deeper than the Grand Canyon. Larger than the state of New Jersey, the wilderness reserve offers opportunities for big adventure, from backcountry camping to mountaineering.
