ABRUZZO GRAVEL: a bikepacking travel experience tailored to your preferences.
A project designed to accompany you in the discovery of undiscovered routes, surprising panoramas, and the most authentic and lesser-known places in Abruzzo.
We'll provide various tracks that you can freely combine, pair, and organize, creating your ideal itinerary.
The itineraries wind through paths, dirt roads, side streets, and villages rich in history and character, immersed in natural landscapes of extraordinary beauty: a true balance where adventure meets hardship and together you're amazed by the landscape.
Each trail is like a petal: you can ride it alone or connect it to another, creating your own personal journey.
Whether you're an experienced cyclist or a novice, ABRUZZO GRAVEL is the bridge that connects our stories across the cobblestone streets and wild trails of Abruzzo.

TRAIL AG26 IS:
NATURE, EFFORT, AND FREEDOM.
A JOURNEY THAT DOESN'T FOLLOW TIME, BUT YOUR OWN PACE
AG26 is pedaling freedom. A journey to escape the routine and rediscover the natural rhythm of things: dirt roads, mountains, sunrises and sunsets seen from the saddle. It's not a race, but a personal experience. You decide how to experience the journey: without stops or slowing down, sleeping under the stars or stopping along the way. No time to beat. Just a simple philosophy: slow down, breathe, and rediscover the freedom of going far under your own steam.
EXPLORE
HERE YOU DON'T JUST CYCLE:
HERE YOU EXPERIENCE ABRUZZO
A journey to be experienced in your own way, where each participant writes their own adventure. There are those who pedal without stopping, those who choose the sky as their roof, those who slow down to savor authentic cuisine or recharge along the way.
HAVE FUN
CHECKPOINT
STOP. STAMP. BREATHE.
A checkpoint isn't just a stop.
It's a moment to slow down, share stories, meet the gazes and smiles of those experiencing the same adventure as you.
Then you set off again, with your legs a little lighter and your mind already focused on the next road.
Abruzzo Gravel is also this: encounters, breaks, travel.
FINISHER
AG26 is a call: silent mountains, remote roads, seemingly endless horizons. Pedal where the asphalt disappears, sleep under the stars, follow the rhythm of light and fatigue. Every choice is yours, every detour is part of the story. The trail shows the way, but it's your heart that decides how to experience it. Respect the land, listen to the silence, cross the most authentic Abruzzo. It's not a race. It's an adventure that changes you.
