Bikepacking de Massa à Capalbio

Kick off your cycling adventure in the charming town of Massa, nestled at the foot of the Apuan Alps in Tuscany. Known for its rich history and the stunning Malaspina Castle, Massa sets the stage for an epic ride.

You'll cover 325 kilometers weaving through rolling Tuscan terrain to reach Capalbio, a quaint hilltop town famous for its well-preserved medieval walls and the beautifully eccentric Tarot Garden. Enjoy the tranquil mix of quiet roads and cycleways, making up about 66% of your journey, while drinking in the picturesque views.

Along the way, you’ll ascend nearly 2900 meters, rewarding you with breathtaking vistas and plenty of thrilling descents. Keep an eye out for sections of loose gravel and unpaved paths – they add a touch of adventure to the predominantly asphalt route.

Whether you’re coasting by fields of sunflowers or stopping to sample local cuisine in rustic villages, this route offers a true taste of Tuscany’s charm. Don’t forget to capture some panoramic views at the max elevation of about 495 meters. Your journey ends in Capalbio, where winding alleyways and rustic Italian charm await. Enjoy a well-deserved rest and perhaps a hearty Tuscan meal to celebrate your ride!
