Overview

Discover Abruzzo… the Apennine Way. Located only an hour east of Rome, the Abruzzo region offers some of the most exciting cycling you will find in Italy by way of National Parks, memorable climbs, hills dotted with olive trees, a network of enchanting back-roads, Renaissance villages lost in the wilderness, and much more. The Apennine range is the mountain backbone along the length of the peninsula, its highest peaks at over 2000 mts. Family-run farming guarantees fresh and organic ingredients for its sumptuous regional cuisine and wines. You will love the warm hospitality and rich taste of the local red Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine.
