Tipi Percorsi
This ebike tour in Ciociaria will allow you to discover, without too much effort, some traits of two among the most famous paths in all of Italy. It is part of Ceprano's rental point, where you can choose the electric bike best suited to you. After a few kilometers of pedalata you will enter a road, immersed in nature, which is part of the group of European cycling itineraries called EuroVelo. Along this route you will meet the Natural Monument Grotte of Falvaterra and Rio Obaco, where we advise you to stop to visit the interior of the Grotts or simply refresh yourself to its exterior. The second part of the itinerary envisages, then, to reach and take part of another historic path, the Via Francigena. This, away from the main routes, will lead you to the country of Ceprano and finally back to the rental point.
Bike + Train : with an increasingly careful eye to sustainability in the tourism sphere, at the request will be possible to rent the ebike directly from Ceprano-Falvaterra railway station. You can, therefore, reach Ceprano by train (connected directly with Rome and Naples), rent the ebike and re-mark it back to the same station at the end of the experience.
EuroVelo 5
EuroVelo is a group of cycling routes that cross all of Europe. In particular we find ourselves along the stretch called EuroVelo 5, also called "Via Romea Francigena" 3,900 kilometres long, which, once finished, will unite London in Brindisi, passing through Milan, Rome and our Ciociaria. After leaving Ceprano's rental point you'll be pedaling yourself right on secondary roads, immersed in the tranquility, sounds and perfumes typical of the campaign that will enrich your experience along the whole adventure. After a few kilometers you'll reach the SP151, which is part of the aforementioned EuroVelo 5, along which you'll meet some of the local trattories and producers, the reported Fontana Water Bianca, where you can stop to drink and fill up your borracks and, with a small detour from the main route, the Grottoes of Falvaterra.
Grotte of Falvaterra and Rio Obaco
Soon after leaving SP151 you will reach the Natural Monument Grotte in Falvaterra and Rio Obaco, a veritable hidden gem in the heart of Ciociaria. Here we advise you to stop to visit the interior of the complex (in this case you will need to reach the ticket office first, report on the map) or simply to rest on its exterior, where the temperatures fall sharply and, especially in the warmer days, you can enjoy the fresh from the caves and the torrent limpid spilling out of it.
Via Francigena
Back in the saddle to your ebike, you will be walking a few kilometers until you reach the dam that will allow you to cross the Liri River and arrive at the Lake St. John Inload. In a short time you will find yourself along the Via Francigena (also reported by numerous road signs) that will take you to pedal first around the lake and then on a long white road that crosses the woods, away from paved roads and cars. Once you return to the main road, continuing to follow the road signs also, you will be returning to a secondary road that will allow you to reach another small lake, that of San Giacomo. Among the local inhabitants, this small water mirror is known for its particular connection with the Moon : as can be seen from satellite images, in fact, its particular form reminds precisely that of a crescent ; the numerous elevations and lowering of the water level during the course of the year remind those of the tides in the Earth-to-Earth interaction ; finally, the road leading from the country to the lake (in the path is the one you'll encounter by leaving it) is called its own Via Guardaluna.
By continuing the path we reach, finally, the municipality of Ceprano once again crossed the river thanks to the historic bridge which in the past divided the Papal State from the Kingdom of the South and which was mentioned in an episode of the Divine Comedy. Right after you arrive in Ceprano's main square where you can choose whether to stop to drink an aperitif or continue to re-enter the rental point, where you'll have a relaxation area, a relaxation area in the greenery of a plateau, the bar and restaurant Le Ganze where you can reinstate your energies, eating typical dishes of the laitier and ciociara cuisine.
This bike experience is perfect for unusually and sustainably discovering the beauties of the ciocious territory, immersing itself in its history, in its pristine nature and gusting its typical products.

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

This ebike tour between Turin and Moncalieri allows you to enjoy, with calm and tranquility, the pleasantness of the landscapes, nature and history of the two neighboring cities. It is a route that starts and ends in Turin passing through the Valentino and Vallere Park, along the Po river and then passes through the historic centers of Moncalieri and Turin.
It starts from Via Madama Cristina 21, BikeSquare Torino's electric bike rental point; head towards Parco del Valentino and then the Vallere, along a flat path, partly paved and free of traffic, up to Moncalieri. From here, after a short stretch, you enter the characteristic pedestrian historic center of Moncalieri.
Valentino and Vallere's Park
In the Parco del Valentino you pass trhough the rear of the Valentino castle, headquarter of the faculty of architecture, and then you can pass inside the nineteenth-century "Borgo Medievale", a remnant of the universal expo of 1882 together with the nearby Fountain of the 12 months.
Also inside the Vallere park you cna find one of the main plants of Smat (a company that supplies water from Turin), which uses the water of the Sangone river to bottle the water for astronauts space missions around the world.
Moncalieri
In the center of Moncalieri you can appreciate the whole context of elegance with the streets full of shop windows, restaurants and signs of ancient times.
It is very pleasant to stop in the town hall square (piazza Vittorio Emanuele II) to taste local delicacies and visit the church of Santa Maria della Scala.
In a short time from the square you can reach the castle of Moncalieri, which construction begun in 1200 and has been remodeled until 1700, which dominates the town.
From the square surrounding the castle you can enjoy a wide and pleasant view of Turin and the mountains that frame it, giving the name to our Piedmont region (which means "at the feet of the mountains").
Going back towards Torino, Cappuccini's Mount and la Gran Madre di Dio
From here, take a wide and straight downhill road that takes you back to the banks of the Po river and then to Turin, again along the Po river, but on the opposite bank from the previous journey with the possibility of staying on the cycle path away from traffic.
Once you reach the Monumental bridge, you return to the city streets by going up the short and pleasant corso Fiume and reaching the Monte dei Cappuccini after passing in front of Villa Scott, theater of the horror movie Profondo Rosso.
The Capuccini have a beautiful view over the city of Turin, as well as the mountain museum and the church of the order of the Capuchins.
Going down the hill from Via Villa della Regina you arrive at the historic Gran Madre di Dio church, built on the occasion of the return of the sovereigns after the Napoleonic interlude, from the monumental staircase that is the background to countless wedding photos.
The monuments of the Sabaudo - Torino city center
The tour continues, leaving the hill behind, entering the center through the famous Piazza Vittorio Veneto (the largest of its kind) with uniform architectures that continue along the entire Via Po until reaching Piazza Castello (note the uninterrupted right portico along the entire the street because it was reserved for the promenade of kings and nobles).
In the center of Piazza Castello you can admire the medieval castle embellished with the eighteenth-century facade of the Juvarra, the modern Teatro Regio (opera house) and the church of San Lorenzo. A gate with the opening guarded by the bronze statues of the mythological Castor and Pollux on horseback (Pollux distinguishable by the star on the forehead that certifies his divine nature) separates Piazza Castello from the courtyard of the Royal Palace, where it is located the Royal Armory. According to some legends, the padlock in the center of this passage identifies one of the gates of paradise and according to others is one of the vertices of the white magic triangle Prague, Lyon, Turin.
From a further covered passage at the bottom left, looking at the facade of the Royal Palace, you can enter Piazza San Giovanni where you can find the Cathedral with its white Renaissance facade and which for some centuries has kept the Holy Shroud on display periodically. From the square you can also see the remains of the Porta Palatine of Roman origin.
Returning to Piazza Castello, take the first section of Via Roma (pedestrian) which leads to the elegant Piazza San Carlo built around the equestrian statue of Emanuele Filiberto. The gem of the square lies in the pavement of the arcades on the right (according to the direction of travel) where you can look for the bronze profile of the Turet (small bull), symbol of the city; it is said that if you make a wish with your foot on the bull's balls it will come true.
Passing between two Baroque churches you enter the next CNL square with the male and female statues representing respectively the Po and the Dora, the main rivers of Turin. Continue along Via Roma in the direction of the monumental facade of the Porta Nuova station reaching the Sambuy gardens.

On this loop trail in the Taleggio valley, we venture to discover a valley that is described as a 'little Switzerland of Bergamo'. Perhaps because this corner of the Bergamasque mountains is particularly green, gentle and welcoming. The route ascends the valley from San Giovanni Bianco along the road carved into the steep walls of the narrow gorge overlooking the Enna stream. The Taleggio valley offers tourists the chance to enjoy an ancient atmosphere of little-used roads and small hamlets rich in history. There is no shortage of opportunities to take a break and enjoy the famous cheese that takes its name from this valley, taleggio.

Colorful circular route starting from the "Tojo Winery" farm, known for the production of excellent Moscato and Barbera wines, but not only ... ..
Canelli and its “Torre dei Contini”
The track will start downhill until you take a panoramic dirt road that will lead you through the vineyards. A stop with photos here is really worth it.
Once back on the asphalt downhill, the route will wind through a maze of secondary streets until it reaches the town of Calosso near its main hamlet, the Piana del Salto.
Continuing towards the hamlet of Sant’Antonio di Canelli, the route will force you to take a turn near the church of the same name.
From here you can also decide to proceed straight and then left, abandoning the path to follow the track called A05, considerably lengthening the tour in favor of a more complete excursion into the surrounding landscape.
By staying on the A08 route, you will quickly reach the junction for the Torre dei Contini.
Near a purple building you can take the dirt road which, on foot, will take you to this particular monument.
The Tower, dating back to 1617, delimited the boundaries of the municipality and served as a military lookout.
From here, it is possible to have a 360-degree view of the surrounding landscape, glimpsing the perfect meeting between the hills of Monferrato and those of the Asti Langa.
Continuing the planned route you will return to take a dirt road.
Pay attention to the last part, which is quite steep.
The landscape, from here, is definitely worth the effort!
The track will also take you to what in the Piedmontese dialect is called "ciabot", that is a small farmhouse immersed in the vineyards once used as a tool shed.
From here you will have an exciting view over the whole landscape below, between Canelli and Santo Stefano Belbo.
The town of Canelli is a small town of about ten thousand inhabitants that rises near the southernmost border of the Monferrato Astigiano, a few steps from the province of Cuneo.
Canelli is historically divided into two parts: “Il Borgo” and “Villanuova”. The first, further down the valley, is the one that has continued to expand with the passing of time while the second, the oldest Canelli, lies on the slopes of the hill and is still dominated by its castle, today Castello Gancia. The Borgo and Villanuova are connected by one of the historical elements of Canelli: La Sternia.
The Sternia climbs up the hill, crosses the medieval part of the town, reaches Piazza San Leonardo, home to the church of the same name and that of San Rocco (recognizable because it is completely brick). From here the road continues uphill until it reaches the top, at the foot of what is now Castello Gancia.
(At the end of the tour, take some time to visit this part of the city)
The Castle of Canelli was the protagonist of a rather troubled history. Presumably born at the beginning of the eleventh century, the Canelli Castle originally had the purpose of defending the roads that led from Asti to Savona, essential for merchant traffic.
Subsequently the fortress has witnessed many struggles and battles that have caused repeated destruction and reconstruction, until 1929 when the Castle was purchased by the Gancia family and transformed into a large noble residence. Even today, the castle dominates the town from above and shows the Canellese and visitors its beautiful appearance of an eighteenth-century villa.
Unfortunately, as the private home of the Gancia family, the castle cannot be visited, however, at least one passage is required to admire it from the outside.
Asti Spumante is the symbol of Canelli and with it are also the places where the wine takes shape. The Underground Cathedrals are located in the Borgo and represent, in a certain sense, the buried counterpart of the town. These were recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2014.
We are talking about ancient and incredibly large cellars, where the fine wines of the area are brought to rest and where they develop their peculiarities. The Underground Cathedrals of Canelli belong to four great historic wineries: Bosca, Contratto, Gancia and Coppo. Although in different ways, all 4 companies make their treasures open to the public.
Continuing along the track, the path will lead you back to the Tojo Company, from which you started.

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 route begins with a sweet climb, crossing breathtaking landscapes between groves and green meadows. The road snows for 36 km until it reaches Genevris, where a historic lighthouse dominates the panorama, offering a spectacular view over the surrounding territory. The climb, while challenging, is repaid by the natural beauty and tranquility of the path.
Arrived at Genevris, after a short break to admire the panorama and take a few photos, begins the descent. This trait is steep and technical, recommended only to experienced cyclists. The descent from Costa Piana is an adrenalinic challenge, characterized by narrow curves and sassy traits that require attention and skill. The pathway ends with a sense of satisfaction and a good dose of adventure, ideal for those looking for a bike excursion rich in excitement and enchanting landscapes.
