This ebike route runs between ancient hamlets and breathtaking mountain landscapes at the foot of the 'King of Stone', Monviso.
This itinerary is divided into two loops that can be cycled together or separately.
The first is simpler and climbs the slope towards Pian Munè, passing through the hamlets of Croesio, Borghini, Salis and Rocciaia, along secondary dirt roads and then descending to Paesana along the tarmac road.
The second loop, recommended for experienced cyclists, starts from Pian Munè and reaches Mount Turnour at an altitude of 1,554 metres. It then descends along well-maintained but challenging mountain dirt roads to the villages of Serre and Oncino and from there, via the provincial road, to Paesana.
In this itinerary, thanks to the aid of e-bikes, you can reach one of the most beautiful panoramic balconies towards the plains of Turin and Cuneo, Pian Munè. It is the ideal place for a quiet break away from the worries of the city after a pleasant ride that nonetheless has quite a bit of elevation gain. From there, our advice is to take the easy dirt road to Monte Turnour and continue a few hundred metres until Monviso appears in all its majesty, with its 3841 metres of altitude.
The descent from Pian Munè towards the hamlets of Serre and Oncino passes from the high-altitude meadows full of flowers in spring to the beech and chestnut woods surrounding the two hamlets.

This ebike tour in South Sardinia will allow you to discover the secrets of the ancient mining routes of the Arburese and the Costa Verde. The path starts from Montevecchio, crosses the ancient mining village of Ingurtosu and reaches the beach of Piscinas. From here, the route continues along the coast and crosses the touristic villages of Portu Maga and Gutturu e' Flumini to then trace back to the mountains.
What to see in Ingurtosu
Ingurtosu is an ancient abandoned mining settlement that was inhabitated by the miners during the last century. Today it presents itself as a ghost village immersed in a suggestive and out of time atmosphere. Following the Provincial Road 66 in the direction of the village Pitzinurri, carrying out a small detour from the original path, you could admire the Palazzo della Direzione della Miniera di Ingurtosu (Palace of the Directorate of the Mine of Ingurtosu) and its iconic arch that embraces the road; the Church of Santa Barbara, from which you could take amazing panoramic photos to the sea; the Ex Ospedale (Former Hospital) of Ingurtosu. Going back, you can admire the ancient houses of the miners. Once you are out of the town you will find the ancient Pozzo Gal (Shaft Gal, within which a multimedia museum is present) and, at the base of the valley, the majestic Laveria Brassey of Naracauli (Brassery Washery of Naracauli).
What to see in Piscinas
Piscinas is probably the most famous and iconic beach of the Southwest of Sardinia and the Costa Verde. Here you will find one of the most impressive dunal complexes in Europe that reaches 100m in height : the Dune of Piscinas. The landscape will leave you breathless and you will seem to have been catapulted into the Sahara desert. We recommend you a walk on the dunes but we remind you that it is absolutely forbidden to transit on the same with means of transport. On the dunes you can also admire the typical Mediterranean vegetation and the characteristic ginepro coccolone (cuddly juniper), which will show you bent because of the strong of the wind of the Maestrale that frequently spins the area. With luck, you could also encounter some exemplary of Sardinian deer. At the centre of the beach you will finally find an ancient mining structure converted into a hotel and some seaside establishments where you could cool down and admire the sea.
What to see in Portu Maga and Gutturu e ' Flumini
The path continues along the Costa Verde and crosses the two villages of Portu Maga and Gutturu e' Flumini. Along the road you can admire numerous beaches and calettes with crystal clear water such as Su Pistoccu (rock seabed), Campu e ' Sali (thick sand grains and rock seabed) and the beach of Gutturu e' Flumini (finest and sandy seabed). The last one is also bounded by a very ancient limestone wall (Punta Calada Bianca) which prides itself on spectacular panoramic photos.
During the last part of your path, on the way to Montevecchio, you will see the Monte Arcuentu (Mount Arcuentu, it is said that its shape reminisces the profile of Napoleon Bonaparte). This is actually an ancient volcano whose top which is reachable in about one hour and a half of walk. For the most willing, we recommend its climb (of medium-low difficulty in the first trait, challenging in the final part. It is about 500m of altitude difference) that will be repaid from a breathtaking panorama: from its top you will see the area from the Costa Verde, the bay of Oristano and part of the centre of Sardinia.

The Great E-Bike Ring: From Volterra to Montecatini Val di Cecina
The magnificent e-bike circuit connecting Volterra and Montecatini Val di Cecina represents one of Tuscany's most extraordinary cycling tourism opportunities, offering an immersive tourist journey through 3,000 years of history, breathtaking landscapes, and a rich cultural heritage. This great ring has been expertly designed to showcase the region's diverse attractions, making them accessible to everyone, even those who aren't physically trained, thanks to the revolutionary advantage of electric bicycles. The e-bike rental point in Volterra is a convenient starting point for exploring the area.
Volterra and Montecatini: Pedaling Among Historical Treasures
The bike tour is a loop connecting two extraordinary destinations that represent different facets of Tuscan heritage. On one side stands Volterra, a city whose three-thousand-year history is evident in its Etruscan walls, Roman theater, and medieval towers. Cycling in or out of Volterra offers cyclists spectacular approaches with panoramic views that have changed little since Etruscan times.
At the other end of the bike circuit lies Montecatini Val di Cecina, one of Tuscany's most picturesque medieval villages. Perched on a hill, it offers a fantastic panoramic view of the surrounding valley. The climb to reach the town is manageable even for those who are less trained, as the e-bike supports pedaling, allowing riders to tackle the ascent with little effort.
The e-bike route is designed to allow cyclists to start from the bike rental point in Volterra and visit both locations, completing the entire ring in one day with ample time for tourist visits to the villages, or breaking the journey with an overnight stay to experience both destinations in greater depth.
Between "Balze" and "Calanchi" by E-bike
The cycling tourism experience between these two ancient villages takes cyclists through an extraordinarily diverse landscape that showcases Tuscany's geological complexity. From the saddle of a bicycle, moving at the perfect pace to absorb the ever-changing landscape, one witnesses a remarkable transition from gently rolling hills to harsh and wild badlands (calanchi), to the distinctive formations of the "balze" (clay cliffs), then giving way to steep, rocky elevations reminiscent of mountain environments.
This geological diversity creates an ever-evolving cycling experience that makes the route never monotonous. Each curve reveals new panoramas, with the landscape transforming kilometer by kilometer. The e-bike assistance becomes particularly valuable during the transition from the gentler terrain around Volterra to the more challenging and mountainous approaches toward Montecatini, allowing cycle tourists to maintain a comfortable pace while enjoying the scenery.
Art and Nature: The Cycling Path through Land Art
One of the most distinctive aspects of this e-bike tour is the integration of cultural experiences directly into the route. After taking the panoramic dirt road marked as "Itinerary of the Balze and Calanchi," cyclists can access various branches of the path that lead to environmental sculptures created by the artist Mauro Staccioli. These remarkable examples of land art interpret the essence of what the artist called "places of experience."
Unlike tourists in cars who simply arrive at a designated parking area, cyclists gradually discover these works as they emerge from the landscape, creating a more organic and meaningful interaction with the art. Admiring the landscape, one can better appreciate how the artworks interact with and comment on the surrounding environment.
Visit to the Caporciano Copper Mine by E-bike
The e-bike circuit connects the natural landscape with the region's industrial heritage through the impressive Caporciano Copper Mine near Montecatini Val di Cecina. This historic site, which gave its name to one of the major industries of the 20th century (later Montedison), offers cycle tourists a fascinating look at the economic and social history of the early years of united Italy.
Located just over 1 kilometer from the center of the village, the Industrial Archaeology Park with the Alfredo Well, workshops, washeries, and the nineteenth-century mining village offers various visiting itineraries. Cycle tourists benefit from dedicated bicycle parking facilities that allow them to safely leave their e-bikes while exploring the mining complex on foot.

Dal borgo di Oneta si percorre un sentiero che passa sotto a volte porticate e ridiscende fino a Predavalle per poi risalire verso il crinale che separa San Giovanni Bianco da Cornello dei Tasso. Da lì si può poi ridiscendere verso il borgo di Cornello dei Tasso passando per la Chiesa affrescata di San Ludovico di Tolosa.
