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.

This route stands out for its scenic beauty and easy ride: the road that goes from Radda to the Pietrafitta fork is one of the most spectacular in the entire Chianti territory. For approximately 9 km, this itinerary rises and falls along the ridge, providing views in the distance of Monte Luco, Panzano, Castellina, as well as of the hills that divide the three provinces of Siena, Arezzo and Florence. The route then dips towards Pietrafitta: the descent is challenging and long. Once in Molin Lungo, riders will cross the bridge that divides the territories of Florence and Siena, and then go slightly uphill towards Panzano (1,5 km; elevation difference 3/4% ). At the Volano crossroads, follow directions for Radda – Lucarelli: Radda is about 10 Km away. The first stretch is gently downhill towards the hamlet of Lucarelli, followed by 5 km of flat ride along the Pesa river. The last 4 Km start at the base of Radda and slightly climb until finally entering the town.

A journey that stimulates all the senses and nourishes the soul, promising unforgettable emotions with every pedal stroke.
La Morra
La Morra, known as the "balcony of the Langhe", welcomes you with a spectacular view that spans from the surrounding hills to the Alps. Stroll through the streets of the historic centre, admiring the elegant palaces and baroque churches. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the municipal wine cellar, where you can taste renowned local wines. For contemporary art lovers, the Barolo Chapel, with its vibrant colours, offers a fascinating contrast to the surrounding landscape.
Grinzane Cavour
Grinzane Cavour will amaze you with its imposing castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Home to the Piedmont Regional Wine Cellar, the manor houses an interesting ethnographic and oenological museum. Climb the tower to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding vineyards. Don't forget to visit the village below, with its characteristic stone and brick houses.
Barolo
Barolo, the world capital of its namesake wine, is an unmissable stop. The majestic Falletti Castle dominates the village and houses the WiMu, the Wine Museum, an interactive and engaging experience suitable for all ages. Walk through the narrow streets of the historic centre, stopping at the numerous wine shops to taste the prized "king of wines". For enthusiasts, the Corkscrew Museum offers a curious collection of these essential tools for every wine lover.
Novello
Novello, the last village on your itinerary, welcomes you with its quiet and authentic atmosphere. Reach the panoramic terrace near the castle, from where you can admire a view that encompasses much of the route you've tackled.

Starting from Novello
The e-bike route starts in Novello and descends along the beautiful Ravera road to Monforte d'Alba.
The Ravera is my favourite road, a long descent that shows the hills of the Langhe and allows you to see Monforte, Barolo and Novello in the foreground and many other castles and villages in the background.
You arrive in the centre of Monforte d'Alba
The centre of Monforte is always a pleasant surprise. On the square on the floor you will find many small bars where you can have an aperitif or an ice cream, but I recommend you climb up to the top of the old town to enjoy the view, see the amphitheatre (home of Monforte Jazz) and if you want to pop over to the giant bench.
Pass through the hamlet of San Sebastiano
From Monforte take the road towards Dogliani. Don't miss a stop at the Briacca, a nice winery that also organises picnics and tastings.
The highlight of the route, however, is the road along the coast that takes you to the hamlet of San Sebastiano (full of fantastic views, old farmsteads, small churches, in short the Langa as it once was) and on to Monchiero.
The old Bra Ceva railway
When you reach Monchiero close your eyes for 2 minutes (the view is horrible, you are in the midst of factories), but once you have crossed the railway bridge you can enter the old Bra-Ceva railway track, recently cleared of brambles and which allows you to avoid the ugly provincial road to reach the Bivio per Novello.
If you want to know more about bra-ceva, there is an interesting site you can explore [https://www.ferrovieabbandonate.it/linea_dismessa.php?id=9].
The ascent to Novello via Bricco Neri
The ascent to Novello is demanding, but not busy.
