Tipi Percorsi
**Update on 22nd September 2020**
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 two routes, the Granfondo (135 km, elevation difference 2621 m) and the Mediofondo (83 km, elevation difference 1526 m), offer breathtaking views of our countryside, the ultimate iconic Italian landscape. Starting in Radda in Chianti, where cyclists can admire the old city walls, and ending in Greve in Chianti, the birthplace of explorer and navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano, the route breezes by vineyards in the sunny Golden Basin of Panzano in Chianti, cuts through San Casciano and then dips down towards Castellina in Chianti, chosen by Michelangelo Buonarroti as his personal retreat. The long route meanders through the southernmost part of the territory, among lush vineyards and breathtaking hills, like the ones of San Regolo and Castagnoli. Both routes descend and rise several times, but don’t include highly technical incline climbs, allowing participants to enjoy the amazing landscape in its most glorious moment – the end of summer.

This itinerary offers a wonderful cross-section of the Piedmont territory, winding through UNESCO vineyards of Langhe-Roero, typical Roero orchards, and historic villages.
Corneliano D'Alba
The starting point with e-bikes for this loop tour is Corneliano D'Alba, one of the heart villages of Roero. For those who wish, it's possible to have an excellent breakfast or snack before departure, which will provide the right energy for the ride. The tour begins with a visit to the town - Corneliano D'Alba preserves in its historic center a medieval decagonal tower from the 13th century, 22 meters tall, testimony to the medieval past of the city and what remains of the ancient castle. For lovers of Baroque architecture, a stop at the Church of SS Gallo and Nicolò is recommended, a Baroque building with an imposing facade that preserves valuable frescoes and decorations inside; the main altar in polychrome marble is particularly valuable. Corneliano D'Alba, located in the heart of Roero, is renowned for wine production, especially Roero Arneis DOCG and Roero DOCG. During summer, the village comes alive for the peach harvest; this fruit in Corneliano d'Alba is particularly prized and juicy. After visiting the town, we depart by bike toward Vezza D'Alba.
Vezza D'Alba
Leaving the town of Corneliano D'Alba, guided by the self-guided route, the ride continues on paved secondary roads that run through vineyards, with gentle ups and downs typical of the Roero territory. During this first part of the journey, you can admire splendid views of the surrounding hills, dotted with farmhouses and small villages. On the e-bike, we reach Vezza d'Alba, whose name origin is quite curious - according to many scholars, the name (once "Vicia") derives from a particular herbaceous plant (vicia sativa) that was once cultivated in the area as fodder for animals. Today, fodder cultivation is practically non-existent, replaced by vineyard cultivation, with Arneis and Nebbiolo vines finding excellent flavor expression in this sandy soil. Not only vines, but also peaches and Madernassa pears are typical products of this area. For geology and natural history lovers, a visit to the Roero Natural History Museum is highly recommended. It is the most important museum of its kind in the area; today the museum houses two different rooms, one geological and the other naturalistic.
Priocca
Leaving Vezza D'Alba behind, the bike takes us toward Priocca passing through Castellinaldo D'Alba. The landscape in this stretch is characterized by alternating woods and vineyards; we are in the wild part of Roero. Looking up at the horizon, steep Rocche (rock formations) stand out - sand walls, sometimes covered with spontaneous vegetation, sometimes "bare." In this stretch, they show all their grandeur. With e-bikes, the steeper climbs are not a problem; the assisted pedaling allows you to climb without too much effort. Once at the top, the panorama over the Tanaro valley and the Langhe gives the right satisfaction to continue toward Priocca. We are about halfway through the route. During the warm season, Priocca is an excellent stopping point for a picnic; upon reservation, it's possible to pick it up directly at the start of the e-bike tour. After lunch at a trattoria or picnic in the shade of a majestic tree, a visit to the town of Priocca is recommended. On foot or by bike, a visit to the Parish Church of St. Stephen is recommended - once a castle chapel, it preserves an imposing bell tower 40 meters tall and completed in 1923. Not just art and culture, but also food and wine; a stop at the numerous local wineries is recommended to experience a true wine tasting of Roero wines.
Return, Magliano Alfieri
The ride on the return road toward Corneliano d'Alba continues on secondary roads with low traffic. This e-bike route crosses more wooded areas and some rural hamlets, offering a different perspective of the territory. Along the bike path, you reach the village of Magliano Alfieri; the woods give way to vineyards and hazelnut groves that characterize the landscape of this stretch. Upon arrival in the village, attention is captured by the imposing Magliano Alfieri castle, which houses the Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions and the curious Museum of Plaster Ceilings. With e-bikes, the climb to the castle won't be too demanding, and the view from the castle's belvedere over the Langhe will be wonderful. Leaving Magliano Alfieri behind, the route comes to an end with the return to the starting point in Corneliano d'Alba.

The electric bike tour around the loop starts from the rental point in Falvaterra and is designed to combine a unique experience visiting the Natural Monuments of the Caves of Falvaterra and Pastena.
E-bike tour to the Caves of Pastena
Starting with e-bikes from the rental point in Falvaterra, you ride a stretch of road immersed in the silence of nature, crossing rivers, cultivated land and wild woods. After crossing the wood you enter the SP151 which leads to the Caves of Pastena, where you can leave your bikes and visit one of the largest speleological complexes in Italy: majestic and suggestive rooms (of the Blue Lake, of the Bats, of the Weeping Willow), stalactites , stalagmites and columns with bizarre shapes that make the visit to the caves an exciting experience.
What to see in Falvaterra
After visiting the Caves of Pastena, you head back to Falvaterra, followin dirt paths and panoramic roads: in the last stretch make the most of the power of the ebike that will allow you to climb from the valley to the village. E-bikes are a great help for easily climbing uphill roads. Once you arrive in the Falvaterra village you can explore the suggestive squares and alleys of the historic center (on foot or on your e-bike) pervaded by history, culture and local traditions and which offer various panoramic views of the Latin Valley; we suggest you to stop at La Bottega Coquinaria da Luca and Serena to taste typical products in the so-called Torrione (a small square that thanks to its panoramic position becomes a fantastic viewpoint terrace).
E-bike tour to the Caves of Falvaterra
After the stop on the bike, you will cover the last 4 km until returning to the rental point at the Caves of Falvaterra where you can visit the underground complex that connects to that of the Caves of Pastena: this complex is characterized by active areas rich in water with waterfalls, rapids , gorges and lakes and you will have the opportunity to discover it both with a classic tourist visit (thanks to an internal walkway) and with a speleological visit by walking and swimming directly inside the crystalline stream and crossing lakes and waterfalls. Exploring these natural wonders is always a unique and breathtaking experience. The bike experience at the caves is always fantastic, the right mix of outdoor activities and adventure in these natural cathedrals.
Find out how to visit two of the most famous caves in Ciociaria by electric bike.
The ebike rental price does not include entrance tickets to the Caves, wich must be purchased on site.

This splendid e-bike route through the prestigious vineyards of Monferrato will allow you to discover, without too much effort, the most beautiful villages and landscapes in the area.
It is a circular route that starts and ends from the prestigious Hotel La Villa di Casalotto and will allow you to admire the splendid landscapes of the Barbera, Moscato and Brachetto vineyards.
What to see in Fontanile
Starting from the renowned structure "La Villa", you will immediately face a steep descent and a subsequent climb that will allow you to reach the village of Fontanile, a town famous for its wines, the Murales, but above all for its mammoth Church of San Giovanni Battista , whose dome, designed by the architect engineer Francesco Gualandi, stands out in the center of the village dominating the surrounding landscape.
Do not miss a visit to this characteristic monument whose dome is the highest in the province of Asti!
From here you can continue in the direction of Mombaruzzo enjoying a break at the Giant Bench of Fontanile, located in a splendid panoramic position.
Alice Bel Colle and its Belvedere
After the Big Bench the descent continues until you reach Mombaruzzo Station.
From here, the track will continue in the direction of Castelletto Molina.
A long but slightly uphill panoramic road will allow you to reach the splendid village of Alice Bel Colle, one of the highest municipalities in the province of Asti with its 420 meters above sea level.
Alice Bel Colle is a town of less than 800 inhabitants, mostly perched on top of a hill. Going up the steps in Piazza Guacchione it is possible to reach a panoramic viewpoint with a 360° view of the Monferrato hills: an incredible view, from Turin to Milan, from the Alps to the Ligurian Apennines. Indescribable in words.
After the obligatory stop at the viewpoint, it will be possible to continue the ride until you reach the town of Ricaldone.
What to see in Ricaldone
Once in Ricaldone it is impossible not to stop again on the belvedere at the entrance to the town to enjoy a breathtaking view of the surrounding vineyards.
For music lovers, a visit to the museum dedicated to the singer Luigi Tenco is not to be missed: located in the building of the former Municipal Kindergarten, the museum is called the "Luigi Tenco Permanent Documentation Center" and is dedicated to the singer-songwriter and his compositions and songs as well as to his life.
The singer is buried in the cemetery, who died tragically in the night between 26 and 27 January 1967 during the Sanremo Festival.
Continuing the Tour you will arrive at the village of Maranzana.
Maranzana and the way back
Once in Maranzana, you cannot fail to notice a dense group of "babaci".
The latter, called in local jargon, are nothing more than fabric puppets made by the local inhabitants to repopulate the streets of the village which were emptying.
Thanks to this recent discovery, Maranzana receives many visits from national and international tourists every year.
It is also possible to organize a tasting at the local Cantina Sociale La Maranzana, to taste the typical products of the area.
Continuing along the track, you will reach the town of Mombaruzzo Stazione again and then face a last climb that will allow you to reach the "crest" of the hill.
The last part of the ride will be flat until you get back to Casalotto, but not before having evaluated a visit/tasting to the prestigious Berta Distilleries located along the way.

The Big Bench
E-bike tour to discover the Big Bench is full of panoramic viewpoints and rides immersed in nature among the hills of the Langhe in search of 5 giant benches from the Big Bench Community Project. Among these, you will also see the first one, near the founder's house: Chris Bangle. The Big Bench project was born in Clavesana and is an artistic and tourist initiative that consists of installing giant benches in scenic and suggestive locations. The Big Benches are giant benches, they are public and offer visitors the opportunity to sit and admire spectacular landscapes.
Chris Bangle says: "becoming children again by rediscovering the landscape"
Big Bench San Benedetto Belbo
The departure for the ebike tour is from Murazzano, a gem of Alta Langa. With the bikes, you proceed towards San Benedetto Belbo pedaling through groves and hazelnut trees until you reach the giant bench #85 yellow and blue, positioned along the road that descends from Passo della Bossola towards the San Benedetto Belbo village. It was inaugurated in 2019.
Big Bench Dogliani
The tour to discover the giant benches continues towards Dogliani, the home of Dolcetto wine and Neo-Gothic architecture. The blue and red bench is located in the historic center near the majestic castle. With e-bikes, it will be easy to reach it by climbing the hill of the town of Dogliani. A picnic stop is highly recommended, by reservation, you can contact the Agriturismo Marenco Aldo and pick up your picnic basket that you can enjoy sitting on the Big Bench while observing the panorama or in the shade of a beautiful tree.
Big Bench Farigliano
After recharging your energy with a delicious picnic stop, why not, combined with a tasting of Dolcetto di Dogliani, the route continues towards Farigliano where in Borgata Gombe immersed in the quiet of the surrounding countryside we find the giant purple bench. Photo stop and then continue towards Clavesana.
Big Bench Clavesana
The e-bike route has Clavesana as its last stop with its two giant benches, the red and the blue one. Did you know that Clavesana is where the Big Bench Community Project originated? Its founder Chris Bangle installed the first giant bench, the red one, in Borgata Correa in 2010. For true fans of giant benches, the official passport is available at accredited points (info on the official website), where you can have dedicated visit stamps for each Italian and international bench.

Tour

The party is not over, take off your bathing suit and get dressed for pedalling down to Barolo.
Barolo is one of those places that surprises you when seen from above, you're getting there and it seems so tiny and perfect. And when you get there it seems even more stunning. You have lots of things to do: visit the WiMu - Wine Museum, the Corkscrew Museum, the Castle, or one of the wineries dug in the tuff rock.
Today you don't necessarily have to do anything, perhaps the bride-to-be just wants some chill-out-time so you can stroll, find the perfect group-selfie-spot or sit at some wine-bar sipping your precious Barolo glass.
Do you still have stamina to ride your e-bike? Go to Novello through Ravera street and enjoy one of the most awesome views of Novello and if you take a look backwards you can see Monforte d'Alba, Serralunga tower and Grinzane Cavour castle.
You are now in Novello and maybe it's dinner time. Choose among our restaurants and agriturismi and then get back to BikeSquare Station - ebike rental shop in Novello, your starting point.

Percorso ad anello di 40 km, con partenza alle ore 10:00 da Petriolo, fino a Colmurano, e ritorno al Bar Centrale intorno alle 16:00.
Lungo il percorso, che si snoda fra strade bianche ed asfaltate (i tratti di sterrato sono stati esclusi, per evitare il fango), dopo circa 5 km di strada panoramica, incontreremo la Cantina Murola, dove degusteremo il Ribona Baccius ed il Giula '21.
Dopo la breve sosta, proseguiremo verso la valle del fiume Fiastra ed attraverseremo il parco archeologico Urbs Salvia, per salire al borgo di Urbisaglia (Urbs Salvia), Città della Regio V Picenum, che nacque come nel II secolo a.C.

Alongside the beauty of the alpine and foothill areas, the route reaches villages and hamlets of remote charm, often located in isolated positions, such as Oneta or Cornello dei Tasso, where time seems to stand still. In these places, the evening lighting of the tunnels also offers breathtaking scenery.
From the cycle path at the bottom of the valley there are numerous itineraries that are perfect for an E-bike trip to discover the hamlets and the beautiful natural slopes of this valley.
What to see in San Pellegrino Terme
A town famous throughout the world for its mineral water of the same name and for its thermal baths that enjoy thermal water that gushes out naturally at 26 degrees. San Pellegrino Terme underwent considerable development in the early 1900s, as evidenced by a number of buildings dating back to the Belle Époque in Art Nouveau style, such as the Casino, which can be visited during the summer, the Grand Hotel and the Spa. The Tempio dei Caduti (Temple of the Fallen), a monument dating back to 1924 and now housing the remains of those who fell during the two world wars, is also interesting.
What to see in San Giovanni Bianco
San Giovanni Bianco is a small town in Val Brembana that owes its name to the town's patron saint and to the presence of numerous outcrops and quarries of light-coloured limestone. The town has a medieval layout and its numerous Romanesque bridges are still passable. In recent years, considerable investments have also been made in the development of the via Priula, built during the 16th century to give Venice, then ruler of the area, a commercial outlet to the north without having to pass through the territories of the Duchy of Milan, then under Spanish rule, with consequent duties amounting to as much as half the value of the cargo.
San Giovanni Bianco is set in a valuable naturalistic context in the middle of the Brembana valley and lying in a basin with imposing peaks, it offers excellent views and numerous possibilities for excursions to the surrounding mountains.
With the closure of the railway in 1966, it experienced periods of depopulation and closure to the outside world. Today, the presence of the Val Brembana cycle route is giving new impetus to tourism, becoming itself a destination for cycle tourism.
What to see in Cornello dei Tasso
Cornello is a village of medieval origin that owes its name to the ancient Tasso family, whose most famous member is undoubtedly Torquato Tasso. The Tasso family already had a company of 'post masters' in the mid-12th century and came to manage the mail service of the Habsburg Empire during the 16th century. In the Middle Ages, the village of Cornello was an important centre for trade and the passage of people and goods thanks to the presence of the via Mercatorum, the merchants' road, which connected Bergamo to Valtellina and linked some of the most important centres in the Brembana Valley.
When, in 1592, the construction of the Priula Road began, commissioned by the Venetian government to directly connect Bergamo to Valtellina without passing through Spanish territories, Cornello dei Tasso found itself isolated and lost its commercial importance, giving way to a period of decline. The new road, in fact, passed along the valley floor, separating the village from the new road system. The isolation of the village, however, favoured the preservation of its original urban structure, which, except for some alterations in the second half of the 20th century, still appears in its medieval appearance, a requisite that has allowed Cornello to be included among "The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy".

You will leave the village of Premosello to reach the Ciclovia del Toce and then cycle to the center of Vogogna. It is an easy route suitable for everyone.
The Ciclovia del Toce
The Ciclovia del Toce is a cycling path that winds along the Toce River. The cycle path is about 50 kilometers long and allows you to travel from Domodossola to the area of Lake Mergozzo and Lake Maggiore. It is an easy itinerary, suitable for both experienced cyclists and beginners, including children. It enables you to ride immersed in nature, passing through woods and clearings. A section of the cycle path is known as 'cycling through the woods.'
Following the river, the cycle path offers beautiful views of the watercourse: it's nice to cool off on very hot days.
The riverbanks are rich in typical vegetation of the area, and there are also sections where flowers typical of the Lake Maggiore region are cultivated.
Vogogna and Its Castle
Vogogna is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy with a medieval history waiting to be discovered. The town is still surrounded by ancient fortifications. The village was once located on the old Simplon road, which historically connected the Domodossola area with Brig in Switzerland. The symbol of the village and Val d'Ossola is the Visconti Castle. The castle is located to the north of the village and is built against a rocky spur. What can be seen today was part of a larger defensive system that also served as a lookout point over Val d'Ossola.
