La Via del sale è un insieme di antichi percorsi commerciali che mettevano in comunicazione la
pianura Padana con il mar Ligure: il sale infatti, utilizzato per la conservazione dei cibi, era la più
preziosa delle merci trasportate dai muli o dai carri, insieme all'olio ligure in cambio del vino e di
altri prodotti.
Una di queste vie collegava la Val Borbera con il territorio di Genova.
Questo itinerario propone di ripercorrere l'antica Via salata con partenza in ebike da Mongiardino
Ligure in Val Borbera, in una delle zone più verdi e ad alto valore naturalistico del basso Piemonte.
Se invece si vuole abbreviare il percorso di circa 20 km è possibile partire da Casella nell'entroterra
di Genova. L'e-bike vi consentirà comunque di percorrere anche lunghi tratti in salita senza fatica.
L'itinerario prevede di percorrere strade asfaltate di basso traffico che attraversano piccoli borghi
come Casella, Montoggio, Scoffera, Pannesi e Uscio con arrivo in giornata a Camogli.
Questi territori da sempre terre di passaggio, sono disseminati di reperti storici quali torri
d’avvistamento, chiese, piccoli borghi arroccati, ponti antichi, palazzi storici, segni delle antiche
civiltà contadine che si accompagnano a ricchi spunti naturalistici e ambientali: panorami unici con
spettacolari fioriture di specie protette e grandi distese di boschi dove oggi è tornato a vivere anche
il lupo. La particolare posizione geografica fa convivere l’ecosistema montano con quello
mediterraneo: da non perdere sono le fioriture primaverili che colorano i prati d’altura, il foliage
autunnale dei boschi o semplicemente un bagno estivo nelle fresche acque del torrente Borbera.
Trascorsa la serata e la notte a Camogli, dopo aver ricaricato le e-bike è previsto il rientro a Casella
o a Mongiardino intervallando la pedalata a soste nei piccoli borghi anche per degustare i molti
prodotti tipici sia quelli di montagna sia quelli dell'entroterra Ligure con una varietà uniche di
formaggi, paste e ravioli fatti a mano, vini liguri e piemontesi, ottimi funghi e i rinomati tartufi
bianchi della Val Borbera.
Se si vuole viaggiare senza nessun tipo di bagaglio è possibile richiedere in fase di prenotazione
delle e-bike il servizio di sherperaggio.

The road is flanked by beautiful lines of cypresses and features some beautiful spots where you can enjoy great views: not-to-be-missed are the one from the Santuario della Madonna di Lourdes and from San Mattia fortress.
Once we reach the top, we enjoy the panorama over Valpantena. Then, the itinerary goes all the way downhill, at the bottom of the valley. There, we cycle on a road surrounded by vineyards and orchards, with nice views over the hills and a few venetian villas.
We climb the Torricelle hills again on a small panoramic road, then we reach Castel San Pietro, the most romantic spot in Verona, where you can enjoy a great panorama over the city: that's the best way how to finish the bike ride!

THE UPPER SABINA
The eleventh stage of the GTL changes the landscape once again: we move away from the Apennines for the lower Sabine Mountains, heading west. But the lower altitudes should not deceive, since the slopes of these hills often prove to be more challenging and hard than the mountains proper, with their sudden and violent ups and downs. From Rieti we leave for the beautiful village of Contigliano, on little-frequented and lonely roads among olive trees and vineyards. We are a few steps from Greccio, a medieval town famous for its nativity scenes, certainly worthy of a detour. Hairpin bends, climbs and descents follow one another, giving villages resting on the "hillocks", the heights chosen for settlements since ancient times: Cottanello, Casperia, Cantalupo in Sabina. Only the end of the stage and the arrival in the Tiber valley offers a bit of descent and respite, up to the railway station of Stimigliano, the end of the stage – and a public velodrome, that of Forano.

Un grazioso cancelletto separa il borgo antico della città di Montalbano Jonico, denominata dai residenti Terra Vecchia, da una suggestiva immersione nel cuore della Riserva naturale dei Calanchi per valorizzare un luogo unico che racconta come era la vita della Terra milioni di anni fa.
Il borgo antico è collegato alla valle del Fiume Agri da una mulattiera (appiett') che attraversano i calanchi della Riserva, un tempo via obbligata per i contadini che quotidianamente si recavano nei propri poderi (giardini).
Tra i nudi calanchi, ricchissimi di fossili e accenni di macchia mediterranea, si possono effettuare osservazioni botaniche, geologiche, paleontologiche e storico-culturali.
Il sito è stato definito dai massimi esperti un vero museo paleontologico a cielo aperto, costituito da un’immensa quantità e varietà di contenuto fossilifero con ben nove livelli vulcanoclastici, a testimonianza di altrettante e distinte eruzioni vulcaniche.
I Calanchi sono costituiti da una successione sedimentaria di età tra 1,2 milioni di anni e circa 640 mila anni che rappresenta l’espressione fisica (le argille) della transizione dal Pleistocene inferiore al Pleistocene medio.
Per purezza geologica e di stratificazione i Calanchi di Montalbano Jonico sono stati proposti all’Inqua (International Union for Quaternary Research) per il Chiodo d’oro (golden spyke).
Possibile, previa prenotazione, un rientro nel centro abitato con ebike del vicino centro noleggio Ginestrebike. Quest'ultimo offre la possibilità di adibire le sue ebike che le Cargobike di seggiolini ammortizzati a norma. Le Cargobike elettrificate con una capacità di carico fino ad 80kg sono state scelte da Noi per condividere con i Nostri bambini diversamente abili l'esperienza di una escursione in paesaggi incontaminati.
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.

Santuario mariano posto su sacro colle di Anglona a 263 metri sul livello del mane dominante le vallate del Sinni e dell'Agri.
La struttura attuale del santuario, datata tra l'XI secolo ed il XII secolo costruita in tufo e travertino, presenta elementi architettonici di notevole importanza quali, l'abside, il campanile e il portale in stile. L'esterno absidale è sicuramente la parte più cromatica e più raffinata dell'intero edificio, si ammirano ornamenti ad intagli, archetti pensili, lesene e un finestrone centrale adornato. Sulle pareti esterne numerose formelle con figure di animali a rilievo, di provenienza ignota, creano un effetto davvero suggestivo. Il tetto a più falde e l'armonia dei volumi, conferiscono al santuario un aspetto piacevole ed imponente. Splendidi e suggestivi affreschi sulle pareti della navata centrale.
Il portale in stile romanico è formato da un'arcata a tutto sesto arricchita da intagli e rilievi. Anche sul fronte del portale si trovano formelle di tufo calcareo con bassorilievi che raffigurano i simboli dei quattro evangelisti, Marco il leone, Luca il bue, Giovanni l'aquila, Matteo l'angelo. A sinistra della facciata spicca il campanile anch'esso in stile romanico, di forma quadrangolare, poco slanciato e in cima adornato da quattro bifore.Chiesa a croce latina disposta su tre navate è ricca di pregevoli affreschi che i recenti restauri hanno riportato alla luce.Nel XIII secolo è stato ampliato l'abside, ad opera di Melchiorre da Montalbano che fu chierico di Anglona. Risalgono al XV secolo invece il rifacimento dell'ala sinistra e la ricostruzione dell'episcopio.
La struttura è attorniata da ulivi secolari e ben curati dove il silenzio Vi immergerà in atmosfere di altri tempi.
L'8 settembre è il culmine della millenaria festa in onore di Maria SS. Regina di Anglona, patrona della diocesi di Tursi-Lagonegro.
Durante l'avvicinamento al Santuario, prima del ponte in mattoni rossi e a pochi metri dalla strada, ci si può immergere in scenari calanchivi e suggestivi a completare questo piccolo tour spirituale e scenografico.

The following text and the linked "hikes" routes are part of the Gallo Nero Bike Day event on last 20th September 2020. Together with the organising body we decided to let the routes be available all year round, hoping that more and more people decide to cycle on our roads. If you want to visit wineries, restaurants and businesses who joined the event, please call in advance because special menus and prices and opening times may vary without notification.
The 8th edition of the Gallo Nero Granfondo race has been postponed to 2021. This year, bicycle enthusiasts will not take part in the usual Gallo Nero race on September 20th, rather they will have the opportunity to embark on a special ‘food and wine’ cycling tour for the day. 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.
