Overview

Ride across the Apennines from Monte Amiata to Blockhaus. The trip starts with a magnificent loop through the famous landscapes and picturesque villages of the Val d'Orcia, and includes the climb to Monte Amiata. You'll hit the first big Apennine climb the following day in the form of the 1,900m Passo Sella di Leonessa, before the long descent to Rieti, known as the navel of Italy. Each day you can choose between two fully supported ride distances: Epic Ride – our most challenging option, designed for riders who want the full distance and maximum elevation gain Performance Ride – a shorter route that captures the same highlights and legendary passes, but with reduced distance and climbing.
