Overview

A 210 km gravel bikepacking adventure from the Umbrian hills to the Tyrrhenian Sea. We will leave Solomeo on October 6th to arrive to the seaside after three stages, on Sunday the 8th, sleeping in some little hotels, enjoying local food and wines. The route will cross hills, woods and fields, taking us from Umbria to the Val d'Orcia and then to the northern slope of Monte Amiata, to then descend into Maremma and from there arrive in the seaside village of Talamone. We will ride on white and dirt roads, trying to avoid asphalt and traffic. The route could change even at the very last minute. It’s an adventure designed for gravel bikes.

A bikepacking adventure with friends

L’Impresa Etrusca is an adventure to live with friends, crossing hills, woods and nature reserves. It is not a competition and there will be no rankings. We will ride together, waiting, supporting and encouraging those who go slower. There is no external technical assistance service. We will have to help each other. We will take essential luggage with us, either in bikepacking or on panniers.
