What makes this tour unique is the harmony between the power of technology and the charm of history. It is not a simple hike, but a sensory journey that transforms the climb into pure pleasure thanks to our e-bikes, allowing anyone to dominate the peaks of Gran Sasso without breathlessness.
Starting from the authentic heart of Barisciano, we immerse ourselves in a network of mountain paths and dirt roads that only those who live in the area know deeply. The route touches the body of water of Santo Stefano di Sessanio before heading to the sky towards the Rocca di Calascio. Here, among the ruins of Italy's tallest fortress, you'll relive the atmosphere of cult movies like "Ladyhawke." The return through the medieval village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio closes a perfect circle between wild nature and historical architecture. Choosing this tour means experiencing the exclusivity of a "slow" Abruzzo, where every ride is a movie frame and every breath smells of freedom.
