    Description

    This six-day cycling route links Rome and Bologna into a varied bikepacking journey through central Italy. The route leads from the coastal plain near Rome via Lago di Bracciano and the volcanic landscapes of Tuscia to Lago di Bolsena, then continues through the hills of Tuscany, the Val di Chiana and the Arno Valley to Florence. From there, the route climbs through Mugello, Passo della Futa and the Apennines before descending into Bologna. Create a free Rogonneur account and save the full route for your next cycling trip.
