Rome – Weekend Adventures | Gravel

Welcome to our weekend adventure series, where we present a thrilling selection of trails and roads around major European cities. These Tours are easily accessible from the city centre and can be tackled either in a single day or be split to offer a full weekend experience. So pack your gear and start exploring – because adventure starts here.

In this Collection, you’ll find three unmissable gravel routes starting in Rome, the eternal city.
Along compacted dirt tracks, ancient paved roads, fast singletrack, and rolling lanes with little traffic, you’ll venture through the Italian countryside. Discover the woods around Lake Bracciano, trace historic routes like the Via Appia Antica, explore the wonders of the Castelli Romani, and pedal along the Regina Ciclarum – the most beautiful cycle path in Lazio – until you reach the seafront and the pine forests of the Roman coast.

The three routes are characterised by a mix of different terrains, including a good amount of asphalt. A gravel bike is the best choice for this adventure, but a mountain bike is also suitable and will make the off-road sections more comfortable.

These Tours are real adventures that require decent fitness and plenty of determination to complete in a day. They’re ideal if you fancy a challenge. You can also take it easy and split the route so you have more time to fully enjoy these rich natural and historic places. We’ve added tips on where to stay in the stage description of each Tour.
