Full description

Pedal, breathe and experience unique emotions in an authentic territory! In the lands of L'Aquila Saffron PDO, known as thered gold of Abruzzo, an e-bike tour rich in traditions and beautiful landscapes awaits you.

The route offers suggestive views and is ideal for those seeking an experience of tranquillity, nature and discovery of the territory.

Amidst picturesque villages, cultivated fields and ancient transhumance routes, our expert guides will help you discover the pastoral traditions and small art jewels enclosed in this corner of Abruzzo, such as the tratturale church of S. Maria dei Centurelli.

What we will do

We will meet at 9:00 a.m. in Capestrano (AQ), at Capodacqua. We will get acquainted with the guides, who will hand over the e-bikes and conduct an introductory briefing. Afterwards, we will set off on our excursion to the L'Aquila saffron DOP lands.

Pedalling on a mixed track, from the extensive Navelli plain we will climb to Civitaretenga, and then pass through Caporciano to the village of Bominaco. Here we will visit theOratory of S. Pellegrino, known as the Sistine Chapel of Abruzzo.

We will discover these fascinating places immersed in the silence of nature. All around, our gaze will sweep over the Abruzzo mountains and saffron fields, cultivated or in bloom, depending on the season.

After a short stop, we will head back down the valley to the village of Capestrano, where we will stop for a short visit to the Piccolomini Castle and then back down to Capodacqua to return to our headquarters.

Along the way, guides will provide us with information and insights into the nature, culture and traditions of the place. The route will be about 25 km long with 300 metres of altitude difference. The assisted pedalling with which the e-bikes are equipped makes the activity suitable even for those who are not particularly well trained.

On the return journey, the activity will end with lunch at theEcoRistoro Tirino with typical Abruzzo products (included). The experience will last a total of 3½ hours, including stops and a guided tour.
