Self-guided e-bike tour in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana

Pedal through the villages and landscapes of northern Tuscany, with the Apuan Alps as a constant backdrop and Mont'Alfonso Fortress as the crown jewel

The hills of the Garfagnana are made to be explored at your own pace, with the wind at your back and the Apuan Alps as your ever-present companions. This self-guided e-bike tour lets you discover northern Tuscany on two wheels, freely and at your own rhythm.

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 landscapes of northern Tuscany on a scenic self-guided e-bike tour near Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, combining nature, climbs, and wide panoramic views.

The route follows a 28-kilometre loop with approximately 690 metres of elevation gain, designed for riders looking for a varied itinerary with a mix of flowing sections and scenic climbs.

After the first kilometres, you ride through the authentic landscapes of the Garfagnana, passing through quiet roads, woodland areas, and traditional settings that reflect the character of this region.

A highlight of the tour is the climb to the Mont’Alfonso Fortress, offering sweeping views over the Apuan Alps, the Apennines, and the surrounding valley, making it one of the most memorable sections of the ride.

This experience is ideal for a day ride at a steady pace. In quieter and less serviced sections, we recommend bringing water, a snack, and a fully charged phone to enjoy the tour with complete peace of mind.
