Cycling day trip from Rome to Monte Caminetto

Ready for a ride from Rome up to the peaceful village of Monte Caminetto? This 47 km route takes you out of the lively center of Rome, with its ancient ruins and buzzing piazzas, and up into the foothills north of the city. You’ll pedal mostly on paved surfaces and cycleways, with a gentle but steady ascent totaling just over 400 meters—enough to feel the climb but not too punishing.

After weaving out of the Roman streets, you’ll transition into quieter roads, passing through green spaces and suburbs as the city gives way to the more tranquil Lazio countryside. Most of your route is on either cycle paths or low-traffic roads, so you can relax and enjoy the views.

Monte Caminetto is a small village perched above the Tiber valley, known for its wooded setting and peaceful air—a real contrast to the bustle of Rome. Bring a snack and enjoy a rest at the top before your well-earned descent or return trip!
