Il tour è un facile anello che parte dal centro storico della città natale di Leonardo Da Vinci. I percorsi che vi condurremo attraverso le colline sono fondamentalmente fatti di salite e discese. Vi mostreremo i piccoli e affascinanti tesori del mio villaggio e vi condurrò sulle colline che circondano il nostro piccolo gioiello toscano, passando tra ulivi e vigneti. Esploreremo i luoghi dove il Genio ha trascorso i primi anni della sua vita, che custodiscono antichi mulini, limpidi torrenti d'acqua dolce e gole segrete. Per godere al meglio del nostro tour, percorreremo strade secondarie. Potremo fermarci a fare uno spuntino "al fresco" o, se preferite, fermarvi per una degustazione di vino in un'antica villa e vedere la cantina, che possiamo anche organizzare per voi. Concluderemo la visita e torneremo a Empoli.
Percorso ad anello per tutti alla ricerca di alcuni luoghi simbolo del Marchesato di Saluzzo. Saluzzo è il punto ideale per partire alla scoperta delle Terre del Monviso.
SE SIETE INTERESSATI A RICEVERE LE BICI A NOLEGGIO DIRETTAMENTE PRESSO LA STAZIONE DI SALUZZO VISITATE L'ESPERIENZA QUI.
Il marchesato di Saluzzo è molto antico e precede di gran lunga gli stati del rinascimento italiano, nasce infatti nel 1142 con il marchese di Saluzzo Manfredo I. Nei secoli sono cambiati i territori di competenza ma in linea di massima il marchesato di Saluzzo si identifica con le terre che stanno tra la Stura di Demonte e il Po, con le Alpi a fare da contrafforte.
Saluzzo, Staffarda e Revello sono tre luoghi simbolo del marchesato.
Saluzzo
Tra le tante scelte a Saluzzo potete trovare la Castiglia, la Chiesa di San Giovanni e Casa Cavassa. La Castiglia e l’antica residenza dei marchesi, oggi luogo museale e sede di mostre temporanee. La Chiesa di San Giovanni racchiude veri tesori d'arte, come le tre navate, l'abside con la cappella sepolcrale dei Marchesi, il chiostro quadrato, il refettorio e la sala capitolare. Casa Cavassa è stata dimora signorile dei Cavassa, vicari generali dei Marchesi, oggi museo civico con affreschi, quadri e arredi d'epoca (ospita la famosa pala d’altare della Madonna della Misericordia di Hans Clemer).
Staffarda
Staffarda è un’Abbazia Cistercense nata per concessione del Marchese di Saluzzo nel XII secolo. Importante sede religiosa e agricola, nasce su un terreno bonificato dai monaci e riveste da subito una centralità storica per il Marchesato. Oggi si può visitare nella sua completezza.
Revello
A Revello potrete invece trovare la Cappella Marchionale, residenza voluta nella seconda Metà del ‘400 dal Marchese Ludovico II (la cui tomba si trova proprio in San Giovanni a Saluzzo). La residenza fu poi utilizzata da Margherita di Foix, vedova di Ludovico II, nella prima metà del ‘500. La cappella Marchionale è completamente affrescata tra il 1480 e il 1512 da Hans Clemer e bottega. Oggi è visitabile, fa parte della sede del Comune di Revello.
Nel percorso ad anello potrete visitare molte altre realtà come il museo naturalistico del Fiume Po di Revello e il piccolo borgo di Castellar
Castellar
Partendo dalla stazione di Saluzzo è possibile raggiungere Castellar un piccolo borgo che vi accoglierà con il suo nobile castello. Per vederlo dovete raggiungere la cima della sua collina.

Questo percorso parte dalla piazza mercato di Bosco Marengo, comune che si estende ad ovest fino al torrente Orba,
paese che ha regalato i natali ad un personaggio storico di grande rilievo, Frà Michele Ghislieri, divenuto poi Papa Pio V nel 1566.
Il tracciato si snoda per il centro storico, costeggiando prima le mura che un tempo isolavano il borgo più antico, risalente all'epoca preromana,
e solcando poi, la campagna coltivata in direzione del torrente, raggiungendo la storica tenuta San Michele del XII secolo.
Trattasi di un percorso molto facile e quasi interamente in piano, principalmente su strade bianche, adatto per famiglie, anche con bimbi piccoli
vista la distanza percorribile.
Il primo tratto di strada, dalla ten. San Michele alla diga omonima, lambisce la garzaia di Bosco M., area naturale protetta caratterizzata da numerose
specie nitticore quali le Ardeidi, risultando molto probabile l'avvistamento della garzetta o dell'airone cenerino nei canali di irrigazione.
Dalla diga di San Michele alla diga di Fresonara si costeggerà in tutta la sua lunghezza il torrente Orba, per poi raggiungere l'abitato di Fresonara, attraversando prima
la piazza Don Luigi Orione e raggiungendo poi la chiesa di Santa Maria, si imboccherà nuovamente una strada campestre per ritornare nell' abitato di Bosco M.
Come ultima tappa, la visita al Complesso Monumentale di Santa Croce, che papa Pio V ebbe il desiderio di edificare, affiancando il convento domenicano, arricchito da tre chiostri,
e la chiesa tardorinascimentale, che ancora conserva pregevoli opere di Giorgio Vasari e della sua scuola.

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.

After passing the village of Mango proceed in the direction of Coazzolo, where you can admire the Chapel of Moscato and continue by foot to the Vigna dei Pastelli (Vineyard of Crayons).
Discovering the big benches with ebike
Continue the descent and stop along the road that connects Coazzolo to Neive to admire one of the many giant benches () scattered throughout the territory and the musical amphitheater that can be reached by foot. After passing Coazzolo you can make a little detour to reach Cascina Saria where you can taste the wines of this area. To reach the Cascina you can turn right into Via Canova between km 25 and km 26 of the app.
While cycling, you can admire the village of Neive on your right, recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Going down to Borgonuovo continue to Neviglie, from which you will go up through the vineyards with breathtaking views to reach the village of Treiso, one of the 4 municipalities producing renowned Barbaresco wine. On your last km of the tour, do not forget to stop to enjoy the view of the Rocche dei 7 fratelli (clay rock walls inside a large crater) of which many legends are told. Try to finish the route in time so as not to miss the visit with wine tasting at the Adriano Marco and Vittorio winery.

A rather long stage of about 70 km in the Ciocian countryside, between historical traditions and peasant folklore, wonderful medieval villages and sites of naturalistic interest with a wild and unripe charm.Laving Cassino and its imposing Abbey that overlooks it, we flank the course of two major arteries that lead south: the Autostrada del Sole and the Rome/Cassino railway line, which we cross several times along secondary roads. However, we remain on secondary roads and foothills, taking advantage of the already existing route of the Way of St. Benedict at least up to Roccasecca, a medieval town that competes with Aquinas for the birthplace of St. Thomas. We are a stone's throw from the beautiful Melfa Gorges, which certainly deserve a small detour from the GTL route. Continuing, we embrace the route of another great cycle path, the Eurovelo5, or via Romea / Francigena. We are now in the valley of the Ciociarian countryside, squeezed between two pre-Apennine chains: on the left the Lepini Mountains, on the right the Prenestini Mountains. Deviating from the cycle path towards the former, we have the Isoletta-San Giovanni Incarico Natural Park, a river and forest reserve, and the beautiful Pastena Caves.The road continues following the course of the Sacco river between ups and downs and castles, such as those of Roccasecca or Ceccano, until it reaches Frosinone, the third regional capital touched by the GTL.

VETRALLA / TARQUINIA
The fourteenth track of the GTL is still immersed in the Etruscan lands, and the hills of Tuscia are the masters in this inexorable descent towards the sea. This inexorable descent, however, hides many small ups and downs that make this stage a little more lively, until it reaches an accumulated difference in altitude of about 600 meters. From Vetralla we exit avoiding the busiest roads, to take the provincial road towards Tuscania: the trend is slightly downhill, the panorama that of the typical countryside of central Italy. Farms, rustic villas and rows of trees frame this first stretch of road without any particular crossings, except for a few herds of grazing cows.The somewhat monotonous wait, however, is rewarded halfway along the route, when we enter the beautiful village of Tuscania: with its medieval walls and churches in Romanesque and Gothic style, closed between the Marta and Capecchio rivers, it is leaning against a tuffaceous block like many villages in the area, and while flaunting a timeless dimension it has known various historical eras: from the Etruscan settlements from which it takes its name (Tuscum) to the Roman ones, up to the Middle Ages of the Aldobrandeschi fiefdoms and the era of the Communes.After Tuscania, the trend becomes a bit fluctuating, although it retains a negative difference in height towards sea level: a nice stop along the way is also the Abbey of San Giusto However, we have to reach Tarquinia, which is leaning against gentle hills that partially block the Tyrrhenian wind: to do so we avoid the most direct road, which is a two-lane provincial road, deviating onto secondary roads in the direction of San Giuliano and then falling back before Montalto di Castro. The destination of GTL14 is universally recognized as the capital of the lands of Etruria, one of the largest necropolises and one of the most important Etruscan museums in the world
