What to see, historical to the San Giacomo Pass
Built from 1929 by the Enel to be able to carry out the dams of Lake Castel and Toggia. As soon as abandoned the evocative conca of Riale the road becomes dirt and becomes a masterpiece of engineering, with reduced slopes, to be confronted by trucks during construction work and back from the harmonious lines complemented by dry arch mulls from which it is possible to immortalize excavations on the tops of the high Formazza and the underlying lake of the Morasco.
What to see, Lake Toggia
We are at quota 2191 mslm, this dam was built in the years 1929-1932 on the Rio Roni, has a length of 199 meters and is 44 meters high.
Focus, Piero Portaluppi-Architect
was one of the most important architects and urbanists of the first half of the ' 900 Italian. Although he has operated predominantly in northern Italy, and in particular for the high bourgeoisie meneghine, he has a real revolution in the way of thinking about the architecture of public and private spaces. Over the course of his career he has carried out projects in a number of areas : not only palaces and residential villas, but also hydroelectric power stations-in which he applied architectural styles more related to historical construction than to industrial-funerary edicts, exhibition pavilions, hotels and much more.

Cycling through the Langhe hills on an e-bike is always an exciting adventure, but this route offers a unique experience that goes beyond traditional boundaries. Starting from the famous vineyard-covered hills, the journey takes you towards new horizons, exploring the transition between the Langhe and the Cuneo plain. As you move away from the classic vineyard panoramas, you'll discover a gradually transforming landscape, offering breathtaking views of the plain and, on clear days, the majestic Alps in the distance. This itinerary is an invitation to explore the diversity of the territory, combining the beauty of the UNESCO Langhe with the surprising variety of Cherasco and Narzole.
La Morra
La Morra, known as the "balcony of the Langhe", is the ideal starting point. From the UNESCO Viewpoint in Piazza Castello, you can admire a panorama that embraces the entire region. Stroll through the historic centre and visit the Tourist Office for detailed information about the area. Descending towards the Brandini locality, you'll be surrounded by vineyards producing some of the Langhe's finest wines.
Cherasco
Cherasco welcomes you with its historical and gastronomic charm. The Visconti Castle, built in 1348, is surrounded by a picturesque avenue of Napoleonic plane trees. The town is famous for its "baci", delicious chocolates that you can taste in the historic pastry shops of the centre. Don't miss the opportunity to explore the ancient streets, rich in noble palaces and baroque churches.
Narzole
Narzole marks the border between the Cuneo plateau and the Langhe. Here the landscape changes: vineyards give way to hazelnut groves, woods and wheat fields. The quiet country road offers panoramic views of the Langhe hills on one side and the Alps on the other, with the Tanaro River flowing below. It's a perfect place for a refreshing break, immersed in nature.
Novello
Novello, the final point of your journey, welcomes you with its neo-Gothic castle, an architectural gem that dominates the surrounding landscape. Built on the remains of an ancient medieval manor, today it houses a hotel and restaurant. The main square of the village is the ideal place to relax and reflect on the experience, perhaps whilst enjoying a glass of Nascetta, the local white wine.
The Experience
This 31 km route is an adventure accessible to all thanks to e-bikes, which make even the most challenging stretches manageable. The self-guided itinerary, supported by the BikeSquare app, offers you the freedom to explore at your own pace, stopping when and where you prefer. Starting from Novello and crossing La Morra, Cherasco and Narzole before returning to the starting point, you'll discover the rich diversity of a territory that goes beyond the boundaries of the classic Langhe. It's a journey that combines the pleasure of cycle tourism with the discovery of surprising landscapes, food and wine traditions, and architectural gems, offering a unique experience that broadens your knowledge of this wonderful region.

ANGUILLARA / ROME THE VIA FRANCIGENA AND THE VEIO PARK
The last stage of the GTL (or the first, if you decide to leave northwards: it is not one-way!) largely exploits the route of the Via Francigena, in the last stretch of the long journey of the pilgrims who arrived in the Holy City. From Anguillara we pass through roads with little traffic near Lake Martignano – depending on the season, it will be more or less pleasant to stop for a swim – and then follow the course of the Cremera stream to the beautiful Sorbo Valley, where the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Sorbo stands. From here we can follow the GPS track and the sporadic indications of the Francigena up to the Veio Park, a city conquered by the Romans in the royal period, whose traces remain in an important archaeological site. We continue our journey towards the city through green patches and streams, along paths that are sometimes bumpy but always fascinating, up to the village of Isola Farnese and the Mola Waterfalls. At this point we still follow the course of the Cremera through secondary roads up to the point where it plunges into the Tiber becoming a tributary: we are now at the gates of the GRA, which we cross with an underpass, and in the northern suburbs of the capital: the entrance to the center is the task of the Tiber ridge, a cycle artery that runs along the river offering unexpected Roman views, from a perspective where traffic does not arrive. The routes to enter Rome include sections of Eurovelo 5 and Eurovelo 7.
a Empoli, in Val d'Arno
You pedal between "pajare" and dry stone walls, peasant architectures that have defined the very identity of the Salento countryside, protecting vegetable gardens and olive trees.
The inland on the hills, just a little above sea level, gives way to Gallipoli for a long ride along the seaside to Torre dell'Alto, a stage for magical sunsets on the cliff between the green of Porto Selvaggio Park and the blue of the Ionian Sea.
The starting point of this route is Nardò. Pedaling, you pass through the municipalities of: Galatone, Sannicola, Chiesanuova, Alezio, Gallipoli, Rivabella, Lido Conchiglie, Santa Maria al Bagno, Santa Caterina di Nardò, Cenate.
The route mainly develops on asphalt roads (about 90%) with low traffic; in the summer months of July and August, the coastal road is instead characterized by heavy traffic.
What are 'pajare'?
Pajare are ancient rural buildings typical of the Apulia region. These structures, dating back to prehistoric times and used until the 19th century, represent a unique example of traditional rural architecture.
Pajare are entirely built in dry stone, without the use of mortar, and have a conical or trullo-shaped structure, with a dome roof resembling a beehive. This particular shape was designed to ensure better resistance to the weather and greater durability over time.
Originally used as temporary shelters for farmers during working hours in the fields, pajare have often been restored and transformed into accommodations for tourists who want to experience a unique stay immersed in nature and the history of Apulia.

Sport, turismo, natura, passione per la promozione ecosostenibile del territorio, in un percorso in mountain bike che unisce, nell’amore per la Sardegna, le zone interne con quelle costiere. Si parte dal paesino Capitale della Barbagia Belvì, passando per i territori Mandrolisai, Sarcidano, Marmilla, Trexenta, Gerrei, Sarrabus, Campidano e Poetto prima del rientro e arrivo a Belvì.
In sella alle e-bike noleggiate dalla Nostra associazione o alle proprie mountain bike su tre distanze da 100, 200 e 300 chilometri, che i partecipanti potranno percorrere in modo agonistico oppure turistico.
La formula è sempre quella che tra avventura e sport, montagna e mare, ha sancito il successo nelle quattro edizioni precedenti: il percorso scelto non sarà segnalato e si dovrà scoprire inoltrandosi tra strade sterrate, mulattiere, sentieri, boschi di castagno, pascoli, leccete e praterie in quota, esclusivamente seguendo la traccia GPS che l'organizzazione consegnerà alla partenza oppure qualche giorno prima per potersi pianificare l'avventura.
L'idea è sempre stata quella di un percorso che dalla montagna andasse a collegarsi con il mare. Il messaggio, sia in chiave sportiva che turistica e naturalistica è quello di valorizzare e far scoprire ai partecipanti tutte le zone della nostra isola in modo sostenibile. La scelta di Cagliari non è stata casuale. Questo ponte sportivo tra centro Sardegna e mare rappresenta un tassello importante delle iniziative a carattere sportivo sia in campo professionistico che dilettantistico ed amatoriale.

From here you will have an exciting view over the whole landscape below, between Canelli and Santo Stefano Belbo.
The town of Canelli is a small town of about ten thousand inhabitants that rises near the southernmost border of the Monferrato Astigiano, a few steps from the province of Cuneo.
Canelli is historically divided into two parts: “Il Borgo” and “Villanuova”. The first, further down the valley, is the one that has continued to expand with the passing of time while the second, the oldest Canelli, lies on the slopes of the hill and is still dominated by its castle, today Castello Gancia. The Borgo and Villanuova are connected by one of the historical elements of Canelli: La Sternia.
The Sternia climbs up the hill, crosses the medieval part of the town, reaches Piazza San Leonardo, home to the church of the same name and that of San Rocco (recognizable because it is completely brick). From here the road continues uphill until it reaches the top, at the foot of what is now Castello Gancia.
(At the end of the tour, take some time to visit this part of the city)
The Castle of Canelli was the protagonist of a rather troubled history. Presumably born at the beginning of the eleventh century, the Canelli Castle originally had the purpose of defending the roads that led from Asti to Savona, essential for merchant traffic.
Subsequently the fortress has witnessed many struggles and battles that have caused repeated destruction and reconstruction, until 1929 when the Castle was purchased by the Gancia family and transformed into a large noble residence. Even today, the castle dominates the town from above and shows the Canellese and visitors its beautiful appearance of an eighteenth-century villa.
Unfortunately, as the private home of the Gancia family, the castle cannot be visited, however, at least one passage is required to admire it from the outside.
Asti Spumante is the symbol of Canelli and with it are also the places where the wine takes shape. The Underground Cathedrals are located in the Borgo and represent, in a certain sense, the buried counterpart of the town. These were recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2014.
We are talking about ancient and incredibly large cellars, where the fine wines of the area are brought to rest and where they develop their peculiarities. The Underground Cathedrals of Canelli belong to four great historic wineries: Bosca, Contratto, Gancia and Coppo. Although in different ways, all 4 companies make their treasures open to the public.
Continuing along the track, the path will lead you back to the Tojo Company, from which you started.
