Overview

A 215 km Gravel Bikepacking Adventure from the Umbrian Hills to the Tyrrhenian Sea. We'll depart from Solomeo on October 4th and, after three stages, reach the seaside on Sunday, the 6th. Along the way, we'll stay in small hotels, enjoying local food and wines. Our route will take us through hills, woods, and fields, leading us from Umbria to Tuscany, through the Val di Chiana and the Val d'Orcia. From there, we’ll enter Lazio, crossing some of the natural areas of Tuscia before reaching the Maremma in Tuscany, and finally arriving at the coast. We'll be riding on white and dirt roads, aiming to avoid asphalt and traffic. The route could change even at the very last minute – this is an adventure designed for gravel bikes.

Highlights

A bikepacking adventure with friends

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.
