Quad tour in the beech forest of Oriolo on Lake Bracciano

Riding a quad bike off-road is a fun and adrenaline-pumping activity, and doing it in one of the most beautiful areas of central Italy, on Lake Bracciano, will be an even more incredible experience for nature and motor lovers.

The quad bike excursion will take place within the Bracciano-Martignano Regional Natural Park, about 30 km from Rome. The area is full of trails suitable for 4-wheelers in full respect of the environment, close to the lake, with views of great beauty and a rich wildlife.

In particular, we will enter the Oriolo Romano Beech Forest, aUNESCO heritage site, an ancient beech forest that has remained intact over time thanks to the lake's microclimate. Ready to warm up your engines?

What we will do

We will meet in Trevignano Romano (RM) and first have a briefing and a driving test. Once our level has been established, the guides will decide on which variant of the route to carry out the excursion. After that, we will set off for the Oriolo Romano beech forest, a truly unique place due to its location. Usually, in fact, beech forests rise between 700 and 900 metres above sea level. Here we are only 450 metres above sea level, yet there is one of the most luxuriant beech forests in Europe.

The influence of the lake, with its microclimate and wet currents, ensures lushness and provides an ideal habitat for many species of wild animals, such as hawks, foxes, wild boar or turtles. We will meet many of them along the way, so watch out for the accelerator!

We will ride on paths, dirt and gravel roads, and we will cross particularly bumpy and potholed sections, to have fun and make the most of the quads' potential. We'll stop at various vantage points to take a few photos and we'll try silvotherapy- we'll hug a tree and get charged up with positive energy!

After leaving the beech forest, we will stop at a bar for a drink and then continue on to the town of Bracciano. Souvenir photo with the lake behind us and return to the meeting point. The activity lasts 4 hours in total. For almost the entire route, the quad bike group will be followed by an assistance vehicle for any eventualities.
