Tra i borghi del Pollino
Start from the Lombard centre of Laino Borgo, and head towards Mormanno, known for its sweet 'bocconotti'. Continue towards the Piana di Campotenese, where you will encounter a pleasant cycle path that reaches an altitude of 1050 metres, and then descend towards Morano Calabro, the 'crib village of the Pollino'.
Passing through Castrovillari and the Arbëreshë villages, you come to the fortified village of San Donato di Ninea.
Sulle vette della Sila, tra storia e natura
The route continues to Ferramonti di Tarsia, site of the largest Italian concentration camp of the fascist era.
From Acre, ascend to 1262 metres, among the highest vineyards in Europe, then down to Lake Cecìta and the Cupone Visitor Centre. The route touches the Fallistro Giants Nature Reserve and then reaches the highest point of the cycle route at 1565 metres.
Continue towards Rovale and Lake Arvo, passing through Racise and Mancuso, and descend towards Albi, Taverna and Tiriolo, closing the route with a view of the two seas and, if the sky is clear, the Aeolian Islands.
From Serre to Aspromonte
Starting from Caraffa, venture through silver fir forests to Mongiana in the Serre Calabresi Park. The last stages, in Aspromonte offer spectacular views and end in Reggio Calabria, the oldest city in Greek Calabria, famous for the Bronzi di Riace.
