Trip Itinerary
More information regarding the time and meeting point for the first/last day will be provided after the booking.
The meeting point will be directly at the Portoferraio port at 2:00 PM, where our riding day will begin. Thanks to the assistance of our dedicated shuttle with a bike trailer, we will minimize asphalt climbs, focusing instead on a mix of single trails that follow the mountain ridge and offer breathtaking descents. We will start from Monte Tondo, where a full day of riding awaits us, mostly above 1400 meters in altitude, with some peaks reaching over 2000 meters. During the day, we will stop for lunch at one of the refuges along the way, where it will also be possible to recharge E-MTB batteries if necessary. The trails we will tackle are not particularly exposed, but they require good balance and technical preparation. Depending on the group's level, the difficulty of the trails can be adjusted. For the more daring, there is the possibility of challenging the summit of Monte Prado, which at 2054 meters offers an incredible view and a true test of skill. Our arrival is scheduled for around 4:00 PM at Casone di Profecchia, a refuge located at 1400 meters above sea level, where we will spend the night surrounded by unspoiled nature. Our arrival is scheduled for around 4:00 PM at Casone di Profecchia, a mountain lodge located at 1,400 meters above sea level. Free dinner and overnight stay
After breakfast, we will continue our adventure by riding along the ridge that marks the border between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna, heading towards Passo della Porticciola. The trails we encounter will be less technical than those of the previous day, mostly not exceeding an S2 grade. During the descent, we will venture into a dense birch forest, where the trails will take on a more natural character, with some S3 sections that will test your skills. From Casone di Profecchia to Castelnuovo in Garfagnana, we will tackle over 1800 meters of descent, navigating ridge trails and the lush woods of the area. Depending on the group’s abilities and fatigue, our guide Marco will propose several variations, ranging from smoother, well-trodden trails to more technical and rugged sections. We will conclude the day by returning to Castelnuovo, where we expect to arrive around 3:00 PM, followed by a free dinner and an overnight stay.
Begin the day with a hearty breakfast, followed by some free time to explore or relax in Castelnuovo in Garfagnana. Afterwards, depart for the transfer back home.
Travel Tour Overview
The Garfagnana, one of the most authentic and untamed regions of Tuscany, sets the perfect stage for an E-MTB adventure like no other. Over the course of two exhilarating days, this tour will take you along an incredible network of natural and technical single trails, winding across exposed ridges, beech forests, and rocky descents that will challenge your skills while rewarding you with breathtaking views. To make the most of your time on the bike, a dedicated shuttle will assist with transfers, allowing you to focus entirely on the riding and the adrenaline of the trails. You’ll cover over 90 km of trails, with routes rated S2 and sections of S3, making this tour ideal for experienced riders with solid technical and physical preparation. For this reason, a full-suspension E-MTB with at least 150mm of travel is required to handle the most demanding sections with confidence and fun. But this experience goes beyond the trails. You’ll spend the night in a mountain refuge at over 1,400 meters altitude, completely immersed in pristine nature, adding an extra layer of adventure to your journey. After intense days in the saddle, you’ll recharge with the flavors of authentic Tuscan cuisine, enjoying hearty dinners and energizing breakfasts, perfect for tackling the next day's challenges. The tour starts and ends in Castelnuovo in Garfagnana, with an optional transfer service from Pisa Airport available upon request for those arriving from outside the region or abroad.
Two days of epic descents, technical trails, and breathtaking landscapes await you—an unforgettable experience for those who seek the true spirit of mountain biking.
