The
tour goes through the Appennini, the
mountain backbone of the Peninsula, within the beautiful
regions
of Lazio, Umbria and Abruzzo.
Seven days offering some of the
most exciting rides you can find in Central Italy: passing through
3 National Parks, with memorable climbs and descents.
The slopes of Campo Imperatore and the
Maielletta
are just as testing as the Dolomites in the Alps.
What makes Apennines
unique, is the variety of landscapes, like the mystical prairies
and sheer
walls of the Sibillini Mountains or the spectacular mountain scenery
of Gran Sasso, all brought
together by gentle rolling hills spotted with olive
trees and medieval villages.
Offering
solitude and grandeur, this fantastic
escape, intertwines enchanting
pockets of civilization with ancient culture and unsurpassed beauty.
Last but
not least, the sumptuous cuisine of the Apennine area, and the generous
taste of wines,
such as Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, the best
expression of the
warm hospitality you can still
find in this remote part of Italy.
