Tipi Percorsi
A circular route that climbs the slope from San Giovanni Bianco to the village of Dossena at an altitude of just under 1000 metres.
The settlement of Dossena dates back as far as the Bronze Age when substantial outcrops of iron and other minerals were discovered that were useful in the production of artefacts. Dossena continued to be an important centre of the Bembana valley even in the medieval period and today is a major tourist attraction, especially for its now disused mines, which can be visited. In the 1980s, a number of artists embellished the village with murals depicting sacred and profane scenes. Another noteworthy feature is the church of San Giovanni Battista, which contains a valuable picture gallery with frescoes by painters of the calibre of Paolo Veronese.

The first stage of the GTL heads south, leaving the Eternal City in the most spectacular way. The Via Appia Antica is in fact a green corridor that connects the Colosseum to the first rural areas under Rome, the Alban Hills, offering the cyclist a unique opportunity in the world, that of cycling on an ancient Roman road paved between the rows of pines, in a landscape very similar to those of the nineteenth-century Grand Tour of the German and English romantics. After about twenty kilometers of plain among ruins, noble tombs and imperial aqueducts, the first slopes begin: the GTL takes us to the Castelli Romani area, a destination for Sunday outings, volcanic lakes and vineyards, known for the traditional "fraschette", the typical taverns, and for cities of art such as Ariccia, Castel Gandolfo and Frascati. The hilly route winds between the two lakes of Albano, famous for its papal residence, and Nemi, where the remains of the Temple of Diana still stand today, and ends in Velletri. For this first stage, three existing cycle paths are used: the Appia Antica Regional Park, with small sections of the future Grab, the Eurovelo 7 route and the Via Francigena of the south, which takes us on short stretches of dirt road that it is recommended to tackle by gravel or MTB.

TOWARDS THE APENNINES: THE IMPERIAL VILLAS, FROM HADRIAN TO NERO.
with the eighth stage, the GTL shifts into lighter gears and pushes into a new environment, never touched before: the mountains. The Lazio region is an Apennine mountain, rough, genuine, which despite not reaching the altitudes of the Alps knows how to offer the cyclist panoramic roads of incredible beauty. From Zagarolo we head north for this stage of approach to the Tiburtini Mountains, only 39 km for a slightly uphill altimetric trend: our destination is in fact Tivoli, but to get there we have to pass a couple of valleys, cross the beautiful villages of Gallicano, Casape and San Gregorio di Sassola, along winding and swinging roads sheltered by the shade of the woods. After crossing the A24 motorway, the last kilometers before Tivoli are gradually ascending through the vineyards. Once we reach our destination, a number of archaeological and tourist sites of world importance leave us spoiled for choice: if the most famous of the attractions remains Hadrian's Villa, the private residence of the Roman emperor of the same name, Villa d'Este and Villa Gregoriana and their fountains offer an incomparable spectacle. The Aniene also passes through Tivoli, which after being born in the Simbruini mountains crosses this city immediately before throwing itself headlong into the scenic waterfalls, and then calming down and flowing into the Tiber in Rome

The phenomenon of water resurgence occurs in that band of variable width where there is the passage between the high plain, formed by coarse pebbles, and the low plain formed by sands and clays. The rainwater or fluvial waters penetrating under the ground do not find more space to flow and emerge limpid and at a constant temperature.
The phenomenon was used in the past for the practice of rotting: the water was running in the winter on the lawns keeping them free, then, from frost and snow and allowing further mowing even in the bad season.

The Bicycle Route Between Calanchi and Balze
The bicycle route between Balze and Calanchi passes through places where nature and history intertwine in a circular path accessible to everyone thanks to e-bikes. This itinerary takes us to discover a unique scenario, characterized by spectacular geological formations, medieval monasteries suspended between heaven and earth, and gastronomic delicacies that tell the essence of this territory.
The e-bike itinerary develops in a loop, making the experience accessible even to those who are less trained. The electric bicycle represents the ideal means to fully immerse yourself in the surrounding landscape, allowing you to appreciate every detail of these lands shaped by time and the elements. The route winds through a succession of breathtaking panoramas, alternating white roads with more adventurous paths, always accompanied by the majesty of the Balze and calanchi that dominate the horizon.
The Balze: Witnesses of an Ancient Geological History
Along the bike path, you observe the Balze which reveal themselves in all their grandeur. These steep slopes with their characteristic golden color represent a natural spectacle of rare beauty and a geological phenomenon of considerable scientific interest. Composed of sand and calcareous sandstone rocks, the Balze are the result of a grand erosive process still in progress, which continues to shape the sediments left by an ancient sea dating back 2.5 million years.
The particular conformation of these geological formations creates plays of light and shadow that reach their peak during the twilight hours, when the setting sun's rays enhance their golden tones, offering a visual spectacle of extraordinary beauty. Pedaling along the route, you will find yourself immersed in an almost lunar landscape, where time seems to have stopped, allowing you to virtually travel back millions of years.
The Calanchi: Natural Sculptures with Wild Charm
In stark contrast to the golden Balze, the calanchi represent another fascinating chapter of this cycling adventure. Characterized by steep southern slopes with pointed crests that shine white under the sun, the calanchi offer a scenario of wild beauty. These clay formations, shaped by the erosion of rainwater, create a surreal landscape that extends as far as the eye can see toward the sea.
The electric bicycle proves to be the perfect means to explore these areas, allowing you to reach panoramic points otherwise inaccessible, from which to admire the breadth and majesty of these natural formations. The gentler slopes, less subject to erosion, host lush cereal crops, creating an evocative chromatic contrast with the white calanchi surrounding them.
The Badia: A Millennium of History Suspended Between Heaven and Earth
A culminating point of the bike tour is represented by the visit to the imposing Badia, a Camaldolese monastery from the medieval era that seems to defy the laws of nature. Perched on the edge of a precipice, this extraordinary building has resisted for about a millennium the inexorable advance of the Balze chasm, creating an image of rare suggestion.
The contrast between man's work and the force of nature reaches its symbolic apex here: the millennial solidity of the monastic structure seems to engage in a silent battle against the unstoppable erosive process that continues to shape the surrounding landscape. The Badia not only represents a monument of exceptional architectural value, but also embodies a place rich in fascination and mystery, where medieval spirituality merges with the dramatic nature of the natural landscape.
San Cipriano: A Window on the Calanchi
The bike path reaches, via a white road, a privileged observation point near the small church of San Cipriano. From this strategic position, you can admire in all its extension the characteristic calanchi landscape of Volterra, distinguished by formations of considerable size, both in length and height.
This natural belvedere offers the opportunity to take memorable photographs and enjoy a moment of contemplation in front of a scenario that seems to have come out of a painting. The small church, with its architectural simplicity, integrates perfectly into the surrounding landscape, adding a further element of cultural interest to the experience.
The Pecorino delle Balze Volterrane DOP: A Gastronomic Treasure
The e-bike tour crosses a hilly territory rich not only in natural and historical beauties, but also in gastronomic excellences. In these hills, the prestigious Pecorino delle Balze Volterrane DOP is produced, a typical cheese that encapsulates the essence of this unique land.
The peculiarity of this cheese lies in the use of vegetable rennet extracted from the wild thistle, a plant that grows spontaneously in local pastures. This production technique, handed down from generation to generation, gives the pecorino a distinctive and unmistakable flavor, which tells the story and traditions of these hills. During the route, there will be opportunities to stop at small farms to taste this product of excellence, accompanied by other local typical products.
Art that Dialogues with the Landscape: The Sculptures of Mauro Staccioli
On the bike following the dirt path called "Itinerary of Balze and Calanchi," the tour leads to the discovery of environmental sculptures created by the artist Mauro Staccioli. These extraordinary works of land art represent a profound dialogue between human creativity and the natural environment, interpreting the essence of the "places of experience" so dear to the artist.
The installations harmoniously integrate into the landscape, framing with essential geometric forms the exciting panorama of balze, calanchi, and hills exposed to the wind, with Volterra majestically dominating the horizon. The encounter with these contemporary works of art further enriches the bicycle tour experience, adding a cultural dimension to the pleasure of physical activity and immersion in nature.

I Piani Resinelli sono adagiati su una grande sella ai piedi del Gruppo delle Grigne. Dalla loro posizione privilegiata si può godere di un’incomparabile vista che dominando la pianura sottostante, il lago di Lecco ed i bacini dell'Alta Brianza arriva fino al Monte Rosa. Il Massiccio delle Grigne è raggiungibile attraverso diversi percorsi con partenza dai Piani Resinelli. I Piani Resinelli toccano la quota media di 1300 metri sul livello del mare, sono raggiungibili in pochi minuti di automobile, noi con le nostre e-bike partendo da Malgrate dobbiamo prevedere non meno di un'oretta e mazza per la sola ascesa. Il percorso é interamente su asfalto, e nel tratto sino all'abitato di Ballabio dobbiamo considerare che si pedalerè su una strada parecchio trafficata, ( soprattutto nel fine settimana) mentre nella parte successiva la strada diventa più stretta e meno caotica.
