After kilometers and kilometers of coastline, the fifth stage of the GTL heads inland, to retrace the Tyrrhenian stretch of the Gustav Line, the retreat front of the German army at the end of the Second World War. The strategy imposed by Hitler was to leave death and destruction behind, and the villages in this area still bear the signs of what was the scene of bloody war actions between the Nazis and the Allies. We start from the archaeological excavations of what was once a flourishing Roman city of Minturnae, whose aqueduct is still clearly visible from the Appian Way, and we flank the Garigliano river, which at this point is crossed by a beautiful Bourbon bridge, to go up its course along the Way of San Filippo Neri. The road is slightly uphill and the first few kilometers are immersed in the bush, broken only by spas and dams on the river. The track dances on the border between Lazio and Campania, skirting villages such as Castelforte, Santi Cosma e Damiano, Sant'Ambrogio sul Garigliano. The kilometers before Cassino reveal the first signs of the Ciociaria countryside, with the pre-Apennines in front of us and the imposing figure of the Abbey of Montecassino, a Benedictine monastic complex famous for one of the most violent bombings of the last war, where there are still numerous monumental war cemeteries.

Volterra and its Hills by Bike
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, the rolling hills surrounding Volterra offer some of Italy's most fascinating cycling tourism experiences. The e-bike tour guides cyclists, through the practical Bikesquare app, to discover the hidden treasures of this extraordinary region, where ancient history, breathtaking panoramas, and authentic culture converge to create an unforgettable adventure. Starting from our convenient bike rental point in Volterra, this journey promises to transport you through a landscape that has inspired artists, poets, and dreamers for centuries. The adventure begins at our well-equipped bike rental center in Volterra. Before departure, you will receive a comprehensive briefing on the route, notable landmarks, and safety tips to ensure your journey is as comfortable as it is memorable.
Romanesque Church of Palagione
After visiting Volterra's historic center, the bike route continues gently descending into the verdant countryside, where cypress-lined avenues and olive groves create the quintessential Tuscan backdrop. The first destination, Palagione, emerges after about 5 kilometers of relaxed pedaling through this pastoral paradise. The highlight of Palagione is undoubtedly its exquisite Romanesque church, a masterpiece of medieval religious architecture dating back to the 12th century. Standing in serene isolation amid the surrounding fields, this ancient place of worship invites visitors to step back in time. The simple yet elegant façade of the church, characterized by local sandstone and precise geometric designs, exemplifies the Romanesque architectural style that flourished throughout Tuscany. Inside, the cool and silent environment offers a moment of rest and contemplation, while the ancient stone columns and surviving frescoes speak of centuries of devotion and artistic expression. The peaceful churchyard provides the perfect place for a brief stop and perhaps a snack.
Pignano
Leaving Palagione behind, with the e-bikes you effortlessly reach a landscape that unfolds like a living Renaissance painting. The route to Pignano follows ancient paths that have connected these settlements for millennia, offering constantly changing views of vineyards, wheat fields, and distant hilltop villages. After about 7 kilometers of gentle undulations, you arrive at Pignano, a perfectly preserved medieval village that seems frozen in time. This enchanting settlement, with its cluster of stone buildings centered around a historic manor house, embodies the timeless charm of rural Tuscany. Pignano's narrow cobblestone streets invite exploration, revealing hidden courtyards adorned with flowering plants and glimpses of daily life that have changed little over the centuries. The village's elevated position offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, with Volterra visible in the distance on clear days. A small café in the center of the village offers the opportunity to sample local specialties, including the region's renowned pecorino cheese, cured meats, and robust red wines.
The Natural Splendor of Mazzolla
The route skirts the edge of the Berignone Forest Nature Reserve, a protected area of remarkable biodiversity. This ancient woodland, home to wild boars, deer, and numerous bird species, offers a strong contrast to the cultivated fields crossed earlier in the day. Mazzolla itself is perched on a natural terrace, giving visitors breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and distant hills. This tiny village, with fewer than 100 permanent residents, is centered around the impressive Villa Viti, a 19th-century mansion built by alabaster merchant Giuseppe Viti. The villa's eclectic architectural style, combining elements of neoclassical grandeur with more whimsical oriental influences, reflects the cosmopolitan tastes of its original owner who traveled the world. The village square, shaded by ancient linden trees, offers an idyllic spot to rest and rehydrate while absorbing the tranquil atmosphere that has remained largely unchanged for generations. Local residents, accustomed to cyclists passing through their village, often greet visitors with warm smiles and, occasionally, tales of local history and traditions.
Return to Volterra
The final stretch of the bike adventure toward Volterra opens up panoramic views of the Val di Cecina, with its mosaic of fields, olive groves, and vineyards stretching toward the distant horizon. The afternoon light bathes the landscape in a golden glow, creating perfect lighting conditions for photography enthusiasts. The ancient city of Volterra gradually appears, with its medieval towers and defensive walls silhouetted against the sky. Your approach takes you past the remains of the Etruscan necropolis, a poignant reminder of the three thousand years of continuous human habitation in this region. The route culminates in a truly spectacular finale with the entrance to Volterra through the iconic Porta all'Arco, an Etruscan gate dating back to the 4th century BC. This ancient portal, with its characteristic three weathered stone heads watching over all who pass beneath, provides an appropriate conclusion to a journey that has traversed both the physical landscape and the rich tapestry of history that defines this remarkable corner of Tuscany.

Multi-day Cycling Tour, a unique and unrepeatable experience that crosses the Appia Antica Park all the way to the shores of the Mar Tirreno along the oldest road in the world, the Regina Viarum.
From the Baths of Caracalla in Rome to the Castelli Romani
The 5-stage e-bike tour starts in Rome at the Terme di Caracalla, following the ancient Roman road known as the Appia Antica, on cobblestones and basalt stones, passing by tombs, churches, mausoleums, villas, and milestones, eventually reaching Santa Maria delle Mole. It's like cycling through an open-air museum on an endless bike path. At times, the route merges with the Via Appia Nuova, which overlaps with the ancient one, a perfect example of the historical stratification of the area. You'll reach the Castelli Romani passing through Albano, Genzano, Ariccia, Nemi, Lanuvio on a partly dirt and ancient path that follows the terrain's orography from Genzano to Lanuvio. The view over Lake Albano and the surrounding hills will leave you speechless. The Castelli Romani are rich in historical sites and ancient villages that testify to their importance over the centuries.
Colli Albani and Agro Pontino
The second stage of the e-bike tour along the Appia Antica leads to the Colli Albani passing through the towns of Albano Laziale and Lanuvio. The route through the Colli Albani, a hilly area rich in vineyards, olive groves, and medieval villages, is particularly evocative. Along the way, you can admire numerous archaeological sites and historical monuments, such as ancient catacombs, ruins of Roman villas, and funerary mausoleums. Continuing with the e-bike, you'll reach the Agro Pontino area towards Cisterna di Latina. This section of the route is more challenging but full of charm and character. The effort will be rewarded by the beauty of the Lazio countryside and the tranquility of the places. The route along the Appia Antica reconnects to the Via Appia Nuova, passing through Borgo Faiti, where a visit to Foro Appio is recommended, already described by Horace in his satires, and crossing various milestones you'll arrive in joyful Terracina with its historic center.
From Terracina to the Mar Tirreno
The third and fourth stages of the e-bike tour along the Appia Antica reach Terracina, where you'll find the temple of Jupiter Anxur, a particular testimony to the city's ancient history. The ride continues on ancient limestone cobblestones reaching the Appia Nuova through the towns of Monte San Biagio and Fondi. From Fondi, you'll travel perhaps the best-preserved stretch of the Appia Antica, crossing a Roman bridge, tombs, and milestones (pay attention to a closed wooden gate that needs to be crossed with your e-bike). There are multiple panoramic views of the Mar Tirreno along this stretch, and if desired, you can stop at the beach to relax listening to the waves while enjoying local fish-based dishes.
From Fondi to Formia
The last stage of the e-bike tour reaches Itri, a picturesque medieval village where a visit to the medieval castle is recommended. Cycling along narrow streets allows you to immerse yourself in history, transporting your mind and imagination back in time. After visiting with e-bikes, continue on the Appia Antica towards beautiful Formia with its promenade and historic center perched on a hill, its historic sites, and characteristic views. The tour from Rome to Formia along the Appia Antica concludes; for the return journey, taking the train is recommended. In the center of Formia is a train station where you can catch a train every hour back to Rome Termini in 1h30.
a Empoli, in Val d'Arno
By choosing this itinerary, you will use your rented ebike to explore the natural beauty and villages of the Partenio Regional Park in the province of Avellino.
You will be amazed by the magnificence of nature and these small villages, but since Irpinia is a land famous for the quality of its wines, the first part of the ebike excursion will be dedicated to exploring vineyards and some villages with a strong wine vocation, with excellent productions of Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo, the two great DOCG white wines of the province of Avellino.
The second part of the itinerary, which you will cover on your rented ebike, takes you to the foothills of the Partenio Regional Park, a protected area established in 1993. Here, nature takes centre stage. The great thing about ebike tours is that, whenever you want, you can stop to admire a landscape and visit the villages on the slopes of Monte Vallatrone and Montevergine in more detail.
This route is a loop tour starting and finishing at the e-bike rental point located at Ciclostazione Avellino, not far from the station and halfway between the towns of Atripalda and Avellino.
However, if you prefer to start from the Chiusano San Domenico e-bike rental point, add the AB/BA route (16.5 km) to this track to reach the Avellino bike rental point.
You will face an itinerary that does not present any particular difficulties and can therefore be tackled with all types of e-bike hire available: city, trekking and full suspension e-MTB.
This route lends itself well to being lengthened or shortened as required. So, feel free to contact us to let us know your time and/or fitness requirements: we will be happy to customise this track to perfectly suit your needs.
And now... off we go!
Follow the directions on the GPS track we have provided you with 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!
The first four kilometres will not be exactly unforgettable, but once you have passed those, we promise you that your e-bike ride will become decidedly more interesting. Once past the village of Picarelli, a tiny hamlet in the municipality of Avellino, the road begins to climb, the traffic noticeably decreases, and the industrial atmosphere gradually gives way to rural landscapes and rolling hills.
The road continues placidly uphill, amid hazelnut groves and vineyards, to the fork for Montefredane. Arriving in the central square of this beautiful village, home of Fiano di Avellino, you will be amazed by the enormity of the space. Here you will easily spot the Town Hall and the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine. Just to the left of the church, you will notice the archway that allows passage under the bell tower. Take that passage to get to the ruins of the Caracciolo Castle, whose construction dates back to the 10th century. If you are lucky and find the gate open, you can admire a spectacular view of the Sabato Valley.
A beautiful downhill country road, with no traffic at all, will delight your legs and your e-bike, leading you without any difficulty to the village of Tufo, the birthplace of the famous DOCG Greco di Tufo white wine, the pride of the entire province of Avellino. The town will reveal itself to your eyes after crossing a small bridge over the Sabato River. When you reach the end of the road, turn right to reach the main square of the village, refill your water bottles at the fountain, and learn more about Tufo by reading the fact sheet.
Continuing your itinerary by pedal-assisted bicycle, you will pass by the ancient sulphur mines, fundamental to the development of Tufo's economy in past centuries (although they are undergoing restoration, at the time of writing this information sheet they are a site that cannot be visited) and return to cross the River Sabato. At the crossroads, turn left and, after 1 km, turn right towards Pannarano / Roccabascerana / Cervinara.
From here on, the second part of your ebike tour in Irpinia begins. In front of you towers the Partenio Regional Park with its wooded mountains. Approximately 15 km almost entirely uphill await you, so be sure to start this section with a good energy reserve in the battery of your rented ebike.
As you grind your way with your pedal-assisted bike, Monte Vallatrone and Montevergine will get closer and closer and nature will become more and more lush. Once you reach the hamlet of Ciardelli, at the crossroads continue on towards Pietrastornina. From now on, the landscape becomes more and more beautiful and you will enjoy beautiful views of the Parthenio Park, but not only... At a certain point, a marvellous panorama will open up on your right, allowing you to see Rocca Bascerana, the Sannio and the majesty of Mount Taburno. Passing here at sunset time, especially in summer, will give you a light and colours that are worth all the effort and effort put in on an ebike.
After getting onto the state road, pedal 3 km more on your e-bike to reach Pietrastornina. The stone spur from which it takes its name and on whose summit the town's castle was located, will be clearly visible to your eyes well before you enter the town. This place is teeming with stories and legends, all to be discovered, perhaps by chatting with the locals.
The next village you will cross on your ebike is Sant'Angelo a Scala, also known as 'the village of the two popes'. Here, in fact, Pope Paul IV was born, and there is a strong cult for Pope Silvester (who is celebrated on 31 December), to whom a small church is dedicated that can be reached via a footpath from which a miraculous water gushes out. According to legend, Pope Silvetro convinced Emperor Constantine to go to Sant'Angelo a Scala to bathe in the miraculous water and thus be cured of leprosy.
From Sant'Angelo a Scala to Summonte you will be right at the foot of the mountain and, in some places, you will almost feel as if you can touch it. The chestnut groves will keep you good company along this 3 km ascent, which is also the last you will face today on your ebike tour.
The Angioina Tower will welcome you to Summonte, recognised as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. So, if you have time, take the opportunity to visit its narrow streets on an e-bike or on foot. From here, numerous trails allow you to explore the Partenio Park by hiking/trekking.
Here the ascent ends and you will quickly reach Ospedaletto d'Alpinolo, famous for its nougat production and for being an obligatory crossing point for the many pilgrims who decide to go to the Montevergine Sanctuary (1,300 metres above sea level) on foot.
A long descent will take you to Mercogliano, with its beautiful avenue lined with centuries-old plane trees, and then down to the city of Avellino, passing completely along Corso Vittorio Emanuele (a pedestrian street where bicycles and ebikes are allowed). After passing through the Manganelli Urban Park, by the time you reach the mural of the famous artist Millo, you will have arrived at Avellino Station, and then in just a few minutes you will reach the ebike rental point located at the Avellino Ciclostazione.
This is where you will end your day in the saddle of the rented pedelecs.
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-assist bikes, we can reach you quickly and accurately in the event of difficulties.
For information on routes and rental, and for assistance during ebike rental, you can call us by phone (Mon 16:30-20:00 / Tue-Sat 9:30-13:30, 16:30-20:00) or text 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 0825.31.139 to your address book to chat with us.
If you just want to think about having fun, relax and let one of our guides accompany you. We will be happy to reveal hidden corners, breathtaking views and share the road with you.
Attention : The path is NOT walkable with the children's bike trailer.
What to see, Riale [ Chärbäch-in Walser ]
Located at 1730 mslm, Riale is among the first settlements created by the Walsers that reached Ossola from nearby Canton Valais through the Gries Pass, is the northernmost fraction of the Piedmont and is a small jewel of montane architecture.
In the past, Riale and the Val Formazza represented an important trade route that put Valais (CH) in communication with neighboring Lombardy through the Gries Pass.
What to see, Oratorio di Sant' Anna
Built by the Edison company in remembrance of the chiesque of the submerged Morasco borgate and the workers who lost their lives during the construction of the dam. Sant' Anna was, with the Madonna della Neve, patron of the oratorio of the village of Morasco, abandoned definitively in 1938.
The cloth of Formazza, of ancient construction, "covered inside with lumber," preserved an icon with an icon with the wooden sculptures of the Virgin, Saint Anne and St. Bartholomew. After the destruction of the oratorio, the devotion of the valligians made the sculptures transport the nearby Riale oratory, from which they were pierted in the Seventies of the twentieth century.
What to see, The source of the Toce River
Nasce in the Piana of Riale from the joining of the torrents Morasco, Gries and Roni. Little further downstream forms the waterfall of the Toce, also called La Frua, which forms a jump of about 143 m. After passing through the Antigory and Formazza valleys, the Toce enters the plain and ends its course in the Lake Beetle, browsing in the Borromeo Gulf, its waters thus flowing into those of the Ticino, the sole emissary of Lake Maggiore.
Focus, the Cascade of the Toce
Situated in Frua fraction is considered one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the alps. On the days our waters are regimented by the Morasco hydroelectric basin, it is therefore possible to see it in the full of its beauty only for a few days a year in the months between June and September.
