Bikepacking from Massa to Capalbio

You’re in for a scenic adventure riding from Massa down to Capalbio! Starting in Massa, nestled at the foot of the Apuan Alps and famous for its marble quarries, you’ll pedal south for over 325 km, weaving your way through classic Tuscan landscapes. Expect lots of peaceful stretches—roughly 40% of your trip uses quiet roads and 26% features cycleways—which makes for a relaxing ride, even with about 2,900 meters of climbing.

The route is mostly paved, though you’ll tackle some fun gravel and unpaved sections (about 12%), so wider tires might come in handy. Along the way, you’ll pass rolling vineyards, olive groves, and quaint villages—perfect for a café stop.

Your ride ends in Capalbio, a charming medieval hilltown just a few kilometers from the Tyrrhenian Sea. It’s famous for its well-preserved walls and the whimsical Tarot Garden nearby. After the ride, take time to explore the old town and maybe treat yourself to some local wine!

All in all, this cycling route offers a fantastic mix of Tuscan culture and countryside, with enough elevation to keep things interesting but never overwhelming. Enjoy the ride!
