Cycling in Calabria

Join us on a journey of discovery to one of Italy's best-kept secrets. Calabria forms the toe of the Italian boot and enchants with pristine environments far from mass tourism. Ciclovia dei Parchi della Calabria is one of the country's more spectacular cycling routes, which follows Calabria's mountain ridge and connects the region's major national parks. Here you roll through Pollino's dramatic mountains, past medieval villages where Greek and Albanian are still spoken, and onward into Sila's deep forests. The landscape alternates between barren heights and gentle hills, and everywhere you are met with genuine hospitality.

This is a journey through both nature and several layers of history: Greek and Roman traces, Albanian minority cultures and living craft traditions. And then the food: rustic, flavorful and characterized by local cheeses, wild herbs and the fiery 'nduja. An active journey in southern Italy where nature, culture and everyday life are woven together into a unique cycling experience.
