A peaceful wilderness, far away from Italy's tourist trail, Abruzzo is a cyclist's dream. We journey through two dramatic and contrasting national parks: Maiella and Gran Sasso, discovering high mountains and medieval villages. Gran Sasso is often described as a mini Tibet with layered foothills and forested valleys. Cycling and hiking through Maiella offers a contrasting landscape: a massif with deep cut gorges and enormous valleys with only bears and birds of prey for company. Far away from Italy's crowds and cities, this is a place to soak in the silence.
