COMPARE GRAVEL TOURS HEREGravel Cycling in Italy: The Ride Beneath Your Tyres, the Story All Around You
Gravel cycling in Italy is more than just a ride—it’s a journey across ancient landscapes shaped by time, tradition, and terrain. Our gravel events trace a blend of smooth tarmac and compacted strade bianche—the iconic white roads formed of broken-up limestone and chalk that have long connected hilltop towns, vineyards, and farms.
These firm, fast-rolling surfaces are not wild backcountry paths, but historic trade routes and farming tracks, gently weathered over generations. You’ll feel the crunch of gravel under your wheels and the rhythm of the road as it dips and climbs through olive groves, open fields, and forested ridges.
Inspired by L’Eroica and the Strade Bianche classic, our routes combine the flow of well-laid tarmac with the texture and character of Italy’s white gravel roads. Each ride offers a balance of comfort and challenge—ideal for those who want the adventure of gravel without the brutality of rock-strewn singletrack.
Whether you prefer the power of a high-performance gravel bike or the added ease of a premium e‑gravel bike, we provide expertly maintained options to suit your style of riding. You’ll enjoy the same immersive experience—with just the right amount of extra assistance if you choose it.
From the rolling white roads of Umbria to the quiet backroads of Marche and beyond, each route immerses you in landscapes that feel untouched by time. You’ll pass through remote villages, sweeping valleys, and trails where the only company might be the rustle of wind in the cypress trees.
This is gravel riding with soul—where the surface tells a story and every turn leads to a new perspective. With full support from Team Volta, including mechanical assistance, nutrition, and logistics, you’re free to focus on the ride, the scenery, and the joy of exploration.
