Ride the Strade Bianche of Monti Sibillini & Gran Sasso

Gravel cycling in Italy is evolving, and the Apennines are leading the way.

The Monti Sibillini and Gran Sasso regions offer an unparalleled riding experience—high-altitude gravel roads, technical climbs, and fast-flowing descents through untouched landscapes.

This is gravel riding at its rawest—remote white roads twisting through deep valleys, rugged trails winding past medieval villages, and panoramic ridgelines rewarding every climb.

Far from the tourist crowds, the Apennines provide an authentic, untamed cycling adventure.
