Your journey begins with a warm welcome as we transfer you from Rome Airport to our charming hotel nestled in the Southern Apennines. Transfers from other airports can be arranged – please contact us before booking.

Upon arrival, meet Team Volta during the introductory briefing, where we’ll outline the daily itineraries and provide an in-depth overview of Stage 1.

Once the essentials are covered, it’s time to assemble your bikes with Team Volta’s expert guidance. Later in the evening, enjoy a delightful dinner at a carefully selected local restaurant, where you’ll get your first taste of the rich culinary traditions that make this region so special. It’s the perfect start to your Grand Tour Italia adventure.

Your Grand Tour Italia adventure begins with a captivating ride from the Southern Apennines and towards the heart of Abruzzo. Pedaling through the rolling hills of Molise, we pass through the historic town of Campobasso, renowned for its medieval architecture and charm.

The journey showcases quiet roads, lush farmland, and panoramic views, offering a mix of gentle climbs and exhilarating descents. This stage is designed to ease you into the rhythm of the tour while immersing you in the rich landscapes and cultural heritage of southern Italy.

This stage leads you deeper into the Central Apennines, where the towering peaks of Gran Sasso and Monte Sibillini dominate the horizon. The route offers a mix of steady climbs and exhilarating descents, passing through serene highland plateaus, dramatic valleys, and remote mountain villages steeped in tradition.

Cycling beneath the imposing Gran Sasso massif, you’ll feel the vastness of Italy’s largest mountain range before heading towards the enchanting landscapes of Monte Sibillini National Park. Every pedal stroke immerses you in nature’s grandeur, offering unforgettable views and a true sense of achievement as you navigate this rugged yet rewarding terrain.

This penultimate stage unveils the more secluded beauty of Marche, taking you through a tapestry of rolling hills, forested valleys, and timeless villages far removed from the tourist trail. The route challenges riders with a mix of short, punchy climbs and flowing descents, rewarding effort with expansive views of the Adriatic Sea on one side and the Apennine peaks on the other.

As you journey deeper into Marche’s unspoiled countryside, you’ll pass vineyards, olive groves, and ancient farmhouses that speak to the region’s rich agricultural heritage. This stage highlights the tranquil charm and understated elegance of a region waiting to be discovered by adventurous cyclists.

As the journey concludes, we bid farewell as we transfer you to Ancona airport. Transfers to other airports can be arranged – please contact us before booking.

While it’s time to say goodbye for now, we hope this isn’t the end of your journey with Volta Pro Tours. Whether it’s returning for another Grand Tour Italia or exploring one of our other cycling events, we look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable rides through stunning landscapes.
