Gargano National Park

Gargano National Park

There are many ways to experience the beauty of the Gargano National Park, which encapsulates the very essence of nature and its relationship with humans. There is something almost sacred about this place, which you will sense as you walk through the forests, surrounded by tall trees and breathing in the sea air. This is a place for every season and every preference. Here you can visit historic villages, rural abbeys and churches, explore the rocks and hills, admire the landscape and fabulous sunsets, or dive into the cobalt blue waters of the coastal caves. The park is accessible to pedestrians, horses, bicycles, motorbikes and off-road vehicles. There are several visitor centres, at Monte Sant'Arcangelo, San Marco in Lamis, San Nicandro Garganico, Manfredonia and Lesina, and one of them should be your first port of call if you want more information about the natural environment, hiking trails, mountain bike rentals or details of guided tours. The Park was established in 1995, in an area of 121,000 hectares covering much of the coastline, the top of the headland and the Umbra Forest, as well as the Maritime Reserve of the Tremiti Islands archipelago. The craggy coast is distinctive with its white limestone rock and the forests are populated by beech, yew and holm oak, some of them reaching monumental heights and proportions. The undergrowth is inhabited by foxes, wild boar, wolves and roe deer. The inland area is a nesting site for many birds of prey, while 80 varieties of orchid add splashes of colour to the brown earth.

giro d italia 13 hero

Following the footsteps of the Giro d'Italia 2022: Sanremo - Cuneo

To pedal along this itinerary is to experience a duel between your head and your heart. The former requires you to keep your eyes on the tarmac, the latter to lift your gaze; towards the hills, the fortifications and the terraces that will enchant you. Three sceneries in one Wide and sandy beaches, interspersed with cliffs and long stretches of rock: we are on the Riviera dei Fiori, in western Liguria, where the hills covered by Mediterranean scrub run down to the sea. The scenery changes radically in the Alte Langhe, the Piedmont hills on the border with Liguria devoted to viticulture. Here the slopes are harsher, but always enchanting in their changing dress each season: green in spring-summer, snow-white in winter, yellow-orange with the autumn foliage. Lastly, the province of Cuneo, lying in the Upper Tanaro Valley, a natural environment that is still uncontaminated, with dense forests of oak, chestnut, beech and pine trees, where the lines on the horizon become more vertical. These are the walls of the Ligurian Alps and, further in the distance, those of the Alpine Arc. Riding your bike from Western Liguria to Piedmont The Riviera dei Fiori and the Piedmont hills. The Tyrrhenian Sea and the Alpine Arc that enraptures the eye and soothes the mind. It is hard to imagine a richer itinerary than this, winding along the roads of the 13th stage of the Giro d’Italia 2022. In addition to the natural heritage, there are historical, artistic and spiritual highlights; as well as an invitation to all cyclists: look up. Don’t limit yourself to the climbs (one actually) on your bike, but also take advantage of the towers, aerostats and domes. From above, this area will appear even more marvellous.

giro d italia 18

Following the footsteps of the Giro d'Italia 2022: Borgo Valsugana - Treviso

Along this route from Trentino to Veneto everything is shaped by nature: the landscape, art, trades, and city planning; even the pace of your pedal strokes – brisk but easy– is dictated by it, so as to let you feel the breeze from the hills and the scent of wine cellars All the shades of green Enclosed between the Lagorai chain to the north and the Vicentine Pre-Alps to the south, Valsugana is a paradise of centuries-old forests, thermal springs, hills planted with vineyards and meadows dotted with farmsteads. Here, eco-sustainability is the first commandment: at the centre of the tourism model are the health of the environment and the wellbeing of the people inhabiting the area. It is a philosophy that extends to the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, a Unesco World Heritage Site: impervious hills, embroidered with parallel rows of vines, a symbol of the perfect symbiosis between man – with his wealth of knowledge – and nature with its resources. Finally, the lower Veneto plain, an area rich in water resources, including the Piave, Sile and Livenza rivers. A cycling route through Valdobbiadene From Valsugana, a valley-model of eco-sustainability, to Treviso, rolling through the hills of Valdobbiadene with its fine vineyards. Here we tell you about an easy-to-ride wavy itinerary, inspired by stage 18 of the Giro d’Italia 2022. What can you expect? A land in which the climbs are not impressive, but other special effects are. It turns into works of art, leaves room to man and his agricultural tools, and heat puffs from its belly. In short, it becomes a friend, even for you who are about to ride across it
