Overview

This time, we're taking you to a surprising place: Basilicata! A reserved, rugged, and sometimes wild region that lets itself be discovered little by little. Its roads take you from hills to ravines, from rocks reaching skyward to high-altitude beech forests, through silent panoramas and authentic villages that offer a journey back in time. Cycling in Basilicata means experiencing a hidden Italy, far from the tourist routes, where the landscape changes at every turn. Here, you won't find grand hotels or overcrowded places, but a sincere welcome and authentic cuisine that will repay you for the day's efforts.
