The Bicycle Route Between Calanchi and Balze
The bicycle route between Balze and Calanchi passes through places where nature and history intertwine in a circular path accessible to everyone thanks to e-bikes. This itinerary takes us to discover a unique scenario, characterized by spectacular geological formations, medieval monasteries suspended between heaven and earth, and gastronomic delicacies that tell the essence of this territory.
The e-bike itinerary develops in a loop, making the experience accessible even to those who are less trained. The electric bicycle represents the ideal means to fully immerse yourself in the surrounding landscape, allowing you to appreciate every detail of these lands shaped by time and the elements. The route winds through a succession of breathtaking panoramas, alternating white roads with more adventurous paths, always accompanied by the majesty of the Balze and calanchi that dominate the horizon.
The Balze: Witnesses of an Ancient Geological History
Along the bike path, you observe the Balze which reveal themselves in all their grandeur. These steep slopes with their characteristic golden color represent a natural spectacle of rare beauty and a geological phenomenon of considerable scientific interest. Composed of sand and calcareous sandstone rocks, the Balze are the result of a grand erosive process still in progress, which continues to shape the sediments left by an ancient sea dating back 2.5 million years.
The particular conformation of these geological formations creates plays of light and shadow that reach their peak during the twilight hours, when the setting sun's rays enhance their golden tones, offering a visual spectacle of extraordinary beauty. Pedaling along the route, you will find yourself immersed in an almost lunar landscape, where time seems to have stopped, allowing you to virtually travel back millions of years.
The Calanchi: Natural Sculptures with Wild Charm
In stark contrast to the golden Balze, the calanchi represent another fascinating chapter of this cycling adventure. Characterized by steep southern slopes with pointed crests that shine white under the sun, the calanchi offer a scenario of wild beauty. These clay formations, shaped by the erosion of rainwater, create a surreal landscape that extends as far as the eye can see toward the sea.
The electric bicycle proves to be the perfect means to explore these areas, allowing you to reach panoramic points otherwise inaccessible, from which to admire the breadth and majesty of these natural formations. The gentler slopes, less subject to erosion, host lush cereal crops, creating an evocative chromatic contrast with the white calanchi surrounding them.
The Badia: A Millennium of History Suspended Between Heaven and Earth
A culminating point of the bike tour is represented by the visit to the imposing Badia, a Camaldolese monastery from the medieval era that seems to defy the laws of nature. Perched on the edge of a precipice, this extraordinary building has resisted for about a millennium the inexorable advance of the Balze chasm, creating an image of rare suggestion.
The contrast between man's work and the force of nature reaches its symbolic apex here: the millennial solidity of the monastic structure seems to engage in a silent battle against the unstoppable erosive process that continues to shape the surrounding landscape. The Badia not only represents a monument of exceptional architectural value, but also embodies a place rich in fascination and mystery, where medieval spirituality merges with the dramatic nature of the natural landscape.
San Cipriano: A Window on the Calanchi
The bike path reaches, via a white road, a privileged observation point near the small church of San Cipriano. From this strategic position, you can admire in all its extension the characteristic calanchi landscape of Volterra, distinguished by formations of considerable size, both in length and height.
This natural belvedere offers the opportunity to take memorable photographs and enjoy a moment of contemplation in front of a scenario that seems to have come out of a painting. The small church, with its architectural simplicity, integrates perfectly into the surrounding landscape, adding a further element of cultural interest to the experience.
The Pecorino delle Balze Volterrane DOP: A Gastronomic Treasure
The e-bike tour crosses a hilly territory rich not only in natural and historical beauties, but also in gastronomic excellences. In these hills, the prestigious Pecorino delle Balze Volterrane DOP is produced, a typical cheese that encapsulates the essence of this unique land.
The peculiarity of this cheese lies in the use of vegetable rennet extracted from the wild thistle, a plant that grows spontaneously in local pastures. This production technique, handed down from generation to generation, gives the pecorino a distinctive and unmistakable flavor, which tells the story and traditions of these hills. During the route, there will be opportunities to stop at small farms to taste this product of excellence, accompanied by other local typical products.
Art that Dialogues with the Landscape: The Sculptures of Mauro Staccioli
On the bike following the dirt path called "Itinerary of Balze and Calanchi," the tour leads to the discovery of environmental sculptures created by the artist Mauro Staccioli. These extraordinary works of land art represent a profound dialogue between human creativity and the natural environment, interpreting the essence of the "places of experience" so dear to the artist.
The installations harmoniously integrate into the landscape, framing with essential geometric forms the exciting panorama of balze, calanchi, and hills exposed to the wind, with Volterra majestically dominating the horizon. The encounter with these contemporary works of art further enriches the bicycle tour experience, adding a cultural dimension to the pleasure of physical activity and immersion in nature.

E-bike discovery tour of Alta Langa starting from Murazzano
The e-bike cycling route in Alta Langa winds through vineyards and hazelnut groves, starting from the electric bike rental point in Murazzano. The electric bike makes it easy to reach the villages of Bossolasco and San Benedetto Belbo. The route meanders through the picturesque hills of Alta Langa, offering a cycling experience of remarkable scenic and cultural interest.
Murazzano
The loop tour starts from the e-bike rental point in the historic center of Murazzano. The historic center of Murazzano is pleasant to visit by bike and is dominated by the ancient cylindrical tower from the 13th century. The route continues outside Murazzano's town center and crosses pasture fields that produce excellent fodder for milk production used in making the famous Murazzano DOP cheese. If you're lucky, during the warm season, you can observe cows grazing in the pastures. With the guidance of the BikeSquare app, cycling will be pleasant on secondary roads with low traffic.
Bossolasco
After the first few kilometers of moderate ups and downs, which the e-bikes make super fun, the route reaches Bossolasco, also known as the "village of roses" for its roses scattered throughout private and public gardens, making visits particularly pleasant during the flowering season. Outside Bossolasco's town center, you can ride the electric bike through hazelnut groves and chestnut woods, with slopes rarely exceeding 8%. The village of Bossolasco, with its well-preserved medieval historic center, represents an ideal spot for a refreshing break.
San Benedetto Belbo
The second village reached on the e-bike is San Benedetto Belbo, named after the Belbo River. This section is characterized by panoramic hairpin turns that allow you to admire the Belbo Valley and its slopes covered with woods and terraces.
The route passes through various rural hamlets where you can still observe the traditional Langa stone architecture, a testament to the local farming culture. The vegetation gradually changes, moving from higher areas dominated by chestnut and oak woods to lower areas characterized by cultivated hazelnut trees.
Approaching San Benedetto Belbo, the bike route follows the course of the Belbo stream, entering a cooler and shadier environment. The village, tied to the memory of writer Beppe Fenoglio who set some of his most famous stories here, represents the final point of the itinerary. The village preserves interesting architectural elements such as the baroque parish church and ancient stone houses.
The e-bike tour comes to an end as you return to the starting point, Murazzano. At the end of the route, an aperitif with the famous Murazzano Toma cheese is highly recommended.

Bike aficionados will be able to test their skills on either of the two Granfondo courses starting from any point of the itinerary. Whilst enjoying a ride through natural scenic beauty, they can stop along the way for a visit to the Chianti Classico cellars - many of which will be open for guided tours and tastings - or take a longer break in one of the several restaurants near the route, delighting in dishes specifically created for the occasion and dedicated to cyclists. Several Gallo Nero statues will mark the path and represent the focal point around which musical entertainment and other performances will take place.

Il meglio delle basiliche romane "Il percorso, lungo sedici miglia, fu diviso in due giornate, con la partenza, la sera del mercoledì, dalla chiesa di San Girolamo della Carità. Attraversato ponte San’Angelo si faceva visita ai malati dell’ospedale di Santo Spirito. Quindi il corteo si raccoglieva presso la basilica di San Pietro, prima tappa della visita. La mattina seguente, di buon’ora, l’appuntamento era nella basilica di San Paolo, da dove si percorreva la via ancora oggi chiamata delle Sette Chiese e si giungeva a San Sebastiano per partecipare alla Messa. Nei periodi di maggiore affluenza la celebrazione eucaristica ebbe luogo a Santo Stefano Rotondo sul Celio. Seguiva l’omelia di Filippo, o di altri religiosi, quindi la refezione. Nei primi anni si fermavano alla vigna Savelli, nei pressi della Caffarella. Col tempo divenne abituale la fermata al giardino Mattei, in quella che oggi si chiama Villa Celimontana. Poi si dirigevano verso la Scala Santa e San Giovanni in Laterano e proseguivano per Santa Croce in Gerusalemme. Attraverso Porta Maggiore il corteo usciva di nuovo dalla cinta muraria arrivando all’Agro Verano, dov’è la basilica di San Lorenzo. Rientrando infine in città il corteo volgeva all’ultima tappa dell’itinerario: Santa Maria Maggiore. Qui, dopo un ultimo raccoglimento, i partecipanti si congedavano intonando la Salve Regina.

A day in the saddle of a pedal-assisted bike among wine, water and legends, passing through some of the most beautiful villages in Irpinia and enjoying the wonderful flat nature of Volturara Irpina, a land of legends.
This route is a loop tour that starts and finishes at the e-bike rental point in Chiusano San Domenico, which, thanks to its privileged location, is the ideal place to set out to explore one of the most fascinating areas of Irpinia.
However, if you prefer to start from the ebike rental point located at the Ciclostazione Avellino (Contrada San Lorenzo 18, Atripalda). add the AB/BA route (16.5 km) to this track to reach the bike rental point in Chiusano San Domenico.
This is a route that presents no particular difficulty and can therefore be tackled with all available types of rental e-bike: city, trekking and full suspension e-MTB.
This trail can be lengthened or shortened as desired. Therefore, feel free to contact us to let us know your time and/or fitness needs: we will be happy to customise this path so that it perfectly suits your requirements.
Let's start!
After refilling your water bottle at the Fontana Vecchia in Chiusano San Domenico, from which clear water always gushes out fresh, it is time to hit the road!
Follow the directions on the GPS track we have provided and, whenever you arrive at a point of interest, learn more about the places by reading the tips we have prepared for you: we hope you will find them interesting and that they will help you to fully enjoy your ebike excursion along the roads of Irpinia!
After about 2 km of road, you will have to turn onto State Road 400. Although it is classified as a state road, and therefore a fast road, it is in fact a road with low traffic intensity, since it is now replaced by other, more convenient roads. In any case, we advise you to be careful and pedal in the comfortable space between the continuous line that delimits the roadway (it is very wide), because some of the few vehicles that pass along it may proceed at high speed.
The road continues with a very slight incline for 5 km, you will be able to overcome the most challenging stretch of the whole day in a short time. Once you enter the junction for Castelvetere sul Calore, you will only pedal your electric bike along roads with non-existent traffic, so you can relax, enjoy the scenery, and stop to take photographs whenever you want.
Once in Castelvetere, visit the historic centre, better known as 'La Ripa'.
Leaving the village, the road continues slightly uphill towards Montemarano, the village famous for the high quality of its Aglianico wine, for the Tarantella Montemaranese and for its Carnival. After visiting the historic centre of Montemarano, turn back to the beginning of the village and take the road to Volturara and the Piana del Dragone.
Here begins a long and beautiful descent, partly wooded and therefore sheltered from the scorching sun: enjoy the road, keeping your hands firmly on the ebike's brakes. For about 13 kilometres you can hardly pedal at all. Towards the end of the descent, take care only to turn left and follow the signs for Volturara Irpina.
At the end of the descent you will have arrived in the town of Volturara Irpinia: welcome to the Piana del Dragone. Being a plateau of about 1,110 hectares, it is a popular place for cyclists in the province of Avellino. Riding an ebike and cycling here is a real pleasure. The absence of slopes, zero traffic and the beauty of the landscape will leave you breathless.
Before visiting the town of Volturara Irpina, don't forget to visit the Bocca del Dragone, a very important place from a naturalistic point of view, being the nerve centre of the most important hydrographic basin in the central south, and to learn more about the legend connected to this evocative place with the sheet we have prepared for you. There is no shortage of picnic tables and picnic areas near the Bocca del Dragone, so if you want to plan a longer stopover, this might be the right place.
This place changes profoundly depending on the seasons: if in summer it is full of pastures and cultivated gardens, in winter - when rainfall and water quantity are conspicuous - it could literally be flooded. If you find yourself visiting it during the flooding phase, you can literally cross this kind of lake, using a walkway bordered on either side by a wooden fence.
Leaving Volturara Irpina, you will find yourself pushing the pedals of your ebike along the so-called Ofantina Vecchia. After 3 km, you will reach 'Malepasso'. The name of this place dates back to the time of the Briganti, to denote its dangerousness and the real possibility of encountering some of them.
From here on, you will be immersed in lush nature, surrounded by mountains so close that you will feel as if you could touch them. The marvellous descent will give you a stupendous panorama, with Atripalda, Avellino and Mercogliano below you, with Montevergine and the Partenio Regional Park right in front of you. There is a quarry along the descent, so watch out for heavy vehicles entering and leaving the quarry that may be driving along the hairpin bends.
After the last few pedal strokes, it will not be at all difficult to reach the ebike rental point in Chiusano San Domenico. Here you will find our staff ready to welcome you back and to collect your impressions and suggestions on the experience you will have had riding your pedal-assisted bike.
Please, remember that we are at your complete disposal before, during and after your excursions on the rented ebikes. Thanks to the GPS trackers on all our pedal-assisted bikes, we can reach you quickly and accurately in the event of difficulties.
For information on routes and rental, for assistance during ebike rental you can call us on the phone (Mon 4:30 pm-8:00 pm / Tue-Sat 9:30 am -1:30 pm, 16:30 pm - 8:00 pm) or write to us on Whatsapp 24 hours a day. The number to contact is always the same, whether you want to talk by voice or exchange messages on Whatsapp. Just add the number +39.(0)825.31.139 to your address book to chat with us.

The Great E-Bike Ring: From Volterra to Montecatini Val di Cecina
The magnificent e-bike circuit connecting Volterra and Montecatini Val di Cecina represents one of Tuscany's most extraordinary cycling tourism opportunities, offering an immersive tourist journey through 3,000 years of history, breathtaking landscapes, and a rich cultural heritage. This great ring has been expertly designed to showcase the region's diverse attractions, making them accessible to everyone, even those who aren't physically trained, thanks to the revolutionary advantage of electric bicycles. The e-bike rental point in Volterra is a convenient starting point for exploring the area.
Volterra and Montecatini: Pedaling Among Historical Treasures
The bike tour is a loop connecting two extraordinary destinations that represent different facets of Tuscan heritage. On one side stands Volterra, a city whose three-thousand-year history is evident in its Etruscan walls, Roman theater, and medieval towers. Cycling in or out of Volterra offers cyclists spectacular approaches with panoramic views that have changed little since Etruscan times.
At the other end of the bike circuit lies Montecatini Val di Cecina, one of Tuscany's most picturesque medieval villages. Perched on a hill, it offers a fantastic panoramic view of the surrounding valley. The climb to reach the town is manageable even for those who are less trained, as the e-bike supports pedaling, allowing riders to tackle the ascent with little effort.
The e-bike route is designed to allow cyclists to start from the bike rental point in Volterra and visit both locations, completing the entire ring in one day with ample time for tourist visits to the villages, or breaking the journey with an overnight stay to experience both destinations in greater depth.
Between "Balze" and "Calanchi" by E-bike
The cycling tourism experience between these two ancient villages takes cyclists through an extraordinarily diverse landscape that showcases Tuscany's geological complexity. From the saddle of a bicycle, moving at the perfect pace to absorb the ever-changing landscape, one witnesses a remarkable transition from gently rolling hills to harsh and wild badlands (calanchi), to the distinctive formations of the "balze" (clay cliffs), then giving way to steep, rocky elevations reminiscent of mountain environments.
This geological diversity creates an ever-evolving cycling experience that makes the route never monotonous. Each curve reveals new panoramas, with the landscape transforming kilometer by kilometer. The e-bike assistance becomes particularly valuable during the transition from the gentler terrain around Volterra to the more challenging and mountainous approaches toward Montecatini, allowing cycle tourists to maintain a comfortable pace while enjoying the scenery.
Art and Nature: The Cycling Path through Land Art
One of the most distinctive aspects of this e-bike tour is the integration of cultural experiences directly into the route. After taking the panoramic dirt road marked as "Itinerary of the Balze and Calanchi," cyclists can access various branches of the path that lead to environmental sculptures created by the artist Mauro Staccioli. These remarkable examples of land art interpret the essence of what the artist called "places of experience."
Unlike tourists in cars who simply arrive at a designated parking area, cyclists gradually discover these works as they emerge from the landscape, creating a more organic and meaningful interaction with the art. Admiring the landscape, one can better appreciate how the artworks interact with and comment on the surrounding environment.
Visit to the Caporciano Copper Mine by E-bike
The e-bike circuit connects the natural landscape with the region's industrial heritage through the impressive Caporciano Copper Mine near Montecatini Val di Cecina. This historic site, which gave its name to one of the major industries of the 20th century (later Montedison), offers cycle tourists a fascinating look at the economic and social history of the early years of united Italy.
Located just over 1 kilometer from the center of the village, the Industrial Archaeology Park with the Alfredo Well, workshops, washeries, and the nineteenth-century mining village offers various visiting itineraries. Cycle tourists benefit from dedicated bicycle parking facilities that allow them to safely leave their e-bikes while exploring the mining complex on foot.
