Capoliveri Green Loop: e-bike tour in Elba Island

The scent of wild herbs, the glint of the sea between the pines, the silence of the old mines broken only by the hum of your wheels. The Capoliveri Green Loop is not just a route: it is the best way to feel Elba Island all at once.Once the tour is booked, you can come to our rental point to collect the bikes, so you can start with our virtual guide, which will accompany you step by step.

Discover the Capoliveri promontory and Monte Calamita on a fascinating e-bike tour through nature, sea views, and the mining history of Elba Island.

The route follows a 25 km loop featuring a varied and rolling profile. Some climbs are a bit steeper, but the e-bike makes the ride enjoyable and accessible. The tour is particularly recommended with an e-MTB, or with a MTB or gravel bike if you are comfortable riding on dirt roads.

The itinerary then leads toward the historic Calamita mining area, where the landscape tells the story of Elba’s industrial past. Along the way you will pass through remarkable locations such as the Mining Museum and the Miniera del Vallone, surrounded by striking scenery where nature has gradually reclaimed the former mining sites.

Continuing along the route, you will enjoy beautiful coastal sections and panoramic sea views, alternating between gravel roads and scenic trails leading to the Tenuta delle Ripalte estate and the charming Istia Beach. These spots offer perfect opportunities to stop, relax, and take in the unique atmosphere of Elba.

This tour is best enjoyed at a relaxed pace and is ideal for a day outdoor experience. In the quieter and less serviced sections of the route, it is recommended to bring water, a snack, and a fully charged phone, so you can enjoy the ride with complete peace of mind.

Parking nearby is very limited; we recommend the parking area in Via Claris Appiani, about 50 meters away.
