The GRAB, the Great Ring Road for Bikes, is a participatory project aimed at creating a cycling and pedestrian ring accessible to everyone, stretching for 45 kilometers within the city of Rome. It is a lightweight and highly environmentally, socially, economically, and culturally viable infrastructure, a useful public work designed to enhance the places it traverses without adding volumes and concrete in a heavily built-up area. It crosses the entire city from the center to the outskirts, passing along a unique and fascinating cycle path.
Once completed, the pedestrian and cycling ring will offer the country a unique and irreplaceable greenway, conveying the idea of a welcoming, healthy, and modern city to both residents and tourists. The GRAB concept is the result of collective work coordinated by VeloLove, involving citizens, committees, associations, and institutions, foremost among them Legambiente, Touring Club Italiano, Vivilitalia, Free Wheels Onlus, Open House Roma, TeamDev, Parco Regionale dell'Appia Antica, and Roma Natura.

Unique and original route of the Roman castles to allow the visit of the Earth Markets - SLOW FOOD organized by the Convivium of Frascati and the Terre Tuscolane in these days (Frascati Saturday- Monteporzio Sunday -Rocca Priora Tuesday only morning)
It starts from the train station of Frascati, walking through the alleys of the village admiring churches and bell towers you arrive at the Parco dell'Ombrellino. Right here is the first Earth Market, that of Frascati. From here you begin to climb towards Mount Tusculum arriving at the suggestive archaeological park of the ancient city of Tusculum, with your theater and the ancient remains of the city.
Then you descend from the Mount along paths in the woods and you arrive in an enchanting place a farm "la Collina degli asinelli" where Lucia will host you in her Picnic area and where you can taste her beautiful desserts or want to eat your packed lunch.
We then continue arriving at Rocca Priora with the other Earth Market, then continue towards Monte Porzio Catone with its elegant historic center and arrive in the last of the Earth Markets.
At the end of the route proceed gently towards Frascati. The Slow Food Earth Markets allow visitors to taste the unique delicacies of the area such as bread, cheese, cold cuts, honey, etc. and then enjoy them in the splendid setting of the Castelli Romani and unique and picturesque views.
This route crosses one of the most beautiful and characteristic areas of Monferrato!
Our pedal assisted bicycles will take you to the wonderful heart of this land, full of surprises and breathtaking landscapes.
From the Big Bench of “Bricco Lu”, you can enjoy a 360 degree view (or almost) of the whole surrounding landscape. In the distance, the Alps, with their perennial glaciers, will be the masters. All around you, you will see the immensity of the vineyards and hazelnut groves that represent the real flagship of Monferrato Area.
How to visit Montegrosso d’Asti
Montegrosso preserves an ancient medieval village located on the top of the hill. Right in the ancient center, the feudal castle stands out imposingly, built in 1134, a true work of engineering for the time.
Our journey starts from the “Enoteca dei Colli Astiani”, a reference point in the area for over 20 years for all lovers of good wine.
The route will wind between the hills of Monferrato and Langhe through splendid scenery.
You pedal almost immediately on a slope to reach the "crest" of the surrounding hills and enjoy the best landscapes.
Once you reach the border with Castagnole delle Lanze you will reach the Big Bench of Bricco Lu, from which you will have a memorable view of the surrounding landscape.
Calosso
Continuing the ride "on the crest" you will arrive at the ancient village of Calosso, also perched on a hill dominating the surrounding landscape.
This town is made famous by the Rapulè Festival which takes place every year on the third weekend of October, when the harvest comes to an end.
During this event it is possible to wander through the streets of the historic center tasting the typical dishes of Piedmontese cuisine, combined with sensational wine tastings.
In Calosso, the fortified wall that houses the ancient medieval castle certainly stands out.
This imposing structure has had a rather troubled history over the centuries and has undergone numerous destructions and alterations.
Agliano Terme and Retourn
Continuing along the route you will reach the town of Agliano Terme, a town famous for its wine landscapes and, as the name itself says, for its small spa.
You will reach the highest point of the town, characterized by a large square with an excellent view and the majestic tower of the ancient castle.
The castle of Agliano Terme was destroyed in the first half of the seventeenth century during the struggle between the Duke of Savoy and the Spaniards for the succession of Monferrato.
Today the tower remains of the mighty castle, which can be visited and owned by the aqueduct.
The top of the building is a privileged vantage point for observing the hills of the Province of Asti.
Going down towards the valley you will pass in front of the thermal station.
In 1770 a spring with a particular smell was discovered in a field of Agliano.
Subsequent chemical-physical analyzes confirmed the presence of sulfur and other substances in what the locals called "rotten water".
Right in that place, a hotel was built that began to welcome tourists right away and, later, everything became a spa.
Continuing along this flat road, the route will bring you back to the “Enoteca dei Colli Astiani” from where the tour started.

Alive an 'Experience between past, present and future. Latronic ceramics, groves and riddles along a path in e-bike.
Nelle risaie dei riso biologico e della DOP
Partendo dal Castello Consortile di Buronzo e da una colazione/merenda a base di prodotti del territorio ad Armonie in Corte, si parte pedalando lungo la Strada Buronzina, per poi seguire il Nuovo Canale della Baraggia, che porta in territorio di Rovasenda, con il suo castello (anzi, sono due!) e i suoi numerosi nidi di cicogne, ma anche con la sua produzione di riso "solidale" biologico e di cachemere.
La Riserva Naturale delle Baragge
Se attraversando queste risaie vedrete coltivazioni geometriche, a righe, con tanti argini regolari di varietà vegetali molto diverse, avrete visto i campi coltivati con un'attenzione marcata alla biodiversità ambientale. Se invece incontrerete degli agricoltori locali, fatevi raccontare la storia del famoso ciliegio della Baraggia! Intanto costeggiando una cava di terra da mattoni (e il colore non mente!) ci si avvicina alla Riserva Naturale delle Baragge, un'area protetta di parco naturale dove subito si notano le betulle dai tronchi bianche alternate ad arbusti bassi molto diversi tra loro.
Il canale FIAT
Si attraversa la riserva, per arrivare al torrente Torbola e al canale FIAT, che prende nome dalla celebre fabbrica torinese che aveva in progetto di aprire una sede un questa zona ma che poi non trovò il consenso del territorio, spostandosi a Cossato. Tutto il canale è caratterizzato da vie di risalita per la fauna, che consentono agli animali caduti accidentalmente in acqua di poter uscire più agevolmente. Continuando il percorso si trovano allevamenti di bovini all'aperto e anche una cascina con un aereo precipitato e mai ripartito, nonostante sembri ancora integro!
Verso le colline del vino di Gattinara
Allontanandosi dall'area boschiva, delimitata da colorate arnie per le api e con sullo sfondo i ruderi del Castello di San Lorenzo a Gattinara, si raggiunge il Rio Collopasso, addentrandosi nei boschi del fiume Sesia, con vallate ben marcate superate da ponti canali e nelle quali si continua a pedalare sulle strade alzaie. Si arriva così al punto di partenza del canale FIAT, costeggiando l'abitato di Gattinara (qui partono le strade per raggiungere i ruderi del Castello di San Lorenzo e la Torre delle Castelle, punti panoramici interessanti sulle colline del vino), percorrendo un tratto della ciclabile cittadina per poi rientrare, dietro alla parrocchiale di San Pietro, nei boschi del fiume Sesia.
Sul fiume Sesia
Nei boschi del fiume Sesia raggiungiamo la ex colonia elioterapica di Gattinara (dotata di parco giochi, sgambatoio per i cani e area attrezzata per feste e manifestazioni), il vecchio lavatoio del paese, le vecchie centrali idroelettriche e la Ca d'Assi, un'area di sosta pic nic proprio sull'ansa del fiume Sesia, punto di imbocco per la cosiddetta Roggia dell'Avvocato e dalla quale continuiamo a seguire la Roggia Marchionale, qui ben riconoscibile per i regolari muri di ciottoli di fiume.
L'Isoetes Maliverniana, alga rara
Continuando nei boschi di Lenta e costeggiando le cosiddette Lame del Sesia, si giunge a Lenta, dove con una piccola deviazione sul canale che costeggia la scuola si può vedere un'alga rara e protetta, dai filamenti lunghissimi e verde acceso: l'Isoetes Maliverniana. Da Lenta si torna tra le risaie, tra chiese campestri e un'area militare invalicabile in cui sono depositati migliaia di carri armati dell'Esercito Italiano. Da Lenta, dirigendosi verso Rovasenda, si incrocia poi la cascina dei nipote del conte Negroni, l'inventore del celebre cocktail! Da Rovasenda si torna quindi a Buronzo.

This route allows you to reach Canove di Govone and access the Roero area without encountering traffic, following pleasant secondary roads.
The bike route that passes through Alba, Vaccheria, Guarene, Cornale, Magliano Alfieri, and Canove di Govone, taking quiet back roads at the foot of the hills, offers a journey through the rural calm of the Roero and Langhe regions. It is characterized by gentle landscapes and authentic atmospheres, far from the busiest roads. Here’s a description of the route and what you can see along the way:
1. Alba
The starting point is the lively town of Alba, the heart of the Langhe and famous for its white truffle and wine. Leaving behind the historic center with its medieval towers, you head out into the countryside—after crossing the dreaded bridge over the Tanaro, which is not bike-friendly. But don't worry—you'll survive.
2. Vaccheria (hamlet of Guarene)

3. Guarene
You cycle along the base of the hill, with your gaze drawn upward to the majestic castle of Guarene, perched at the top. Though you stay in the valley, you still enjoy beautiful views of this elegant hilltop village, surrounded by terraced vineyards and neatly kept gardens.
4. Cornale
Continuing eastward, you reach Cornale, a tiny hamlet nestled among the fields, where peace and quiet reign. The secondary roads through this area are lined with rows of trees, natural hedgerows, and the occasional old farmhouse.
5. Magliano Alfieri
The route winds at the base of Magliano Alfieri, a village dominated from above by its Baroque castle. Although you don't climb up to the village itself, the elegant architecture of the castle stands out, framed by hills covered with vineyards and hazelnut groves.
6. Canove di Govone
The final stop before returning is Canove, a small hamlet that preserves the simple and authentic atmosphere of the Roero, with low-traffic roads and open views of the Tanaro valley. From here, you can catch sight of Govone, another hilltop village with a Savoy castle, visible in the distance.
Route Features
Difficulty: Easy to moderate, with flat sections and gentle slopes.
Surface: Paved roads, low-traffic secondary routes.
Setting: Rural and quiet, with scenic views of hills, vineyards, castles, and farmsteads.
Ideal for: Those seeking an immersive experience in nature and the cultural landscape of Langhe and Roero, without tackling steep climbs.

TARQUINIA / SANTA SEVERA
After ten routes inland, between hills and mountains, the GTL15 returns to the sea, this time north of Rome: it is a simple and quiet stage, about fifty km almost all on the plain, sheltered by the coastal chain of the Tolfa Mountains. This stage follows the course of the future Tyrrhenian Cycle Route, of which there are only a few small sections, following the course of the busy Via Aurelia in parallel and taking advantage of its coplanar and secondary roads. From Tarquinia we lose the remaining altitude by gaining the coast, and from there we head south: on our route, pleasant seaside resorts such as Tarquinia Lido and Santa Marinella, as well as important ports such as Civitavecchia. The track winds around the new Aurelia trying to avoid it in every way, now on the seafront of the villages crossed, often already equipped with safe cycle paths, now on the roads of the hinterland. Our destination, Santa Severa, is embellished by the scenic Castle, which stands right on the sea, on what was the ancient site of Pyrgi, an Etruscan settlement.
