What to expect

Ride an e-bike through the striking Calanchi of Montalbano Jonico, one of Basilicata’s most unique and lesser-known landscapes. After a short introduction, you’ll set off along scenic panoramic bends before continuing on quiet unpaved country roads that wrap around the hill, with wide views over clay ridges and open countryside.

You’ll follow ancient mule tracks once used by local farmers, reach evocative places such as the Teatro dei Calanchi, and enjoy brief stops to admire the scenery and take photos. The itinerary is easy and suitable for beginners, covering about 8 km with approximately 280 meters of elevation gain, made comfortable by electric assistance. This relaxed e-bike ride offers a sustainable and immersive way to experience Southern Italy off the beaten path.
