Short Description

Ride a gravel loop from Termoli into the heart of Molise on this 7-day self-guided tour. The ancient drovers' roads, the Roman city of Sepino and the Samnite sanctuary of Pietrabbondante lead you back to the Adriatic.

Tour Program

Day 1: Termoli – Larino (53 km; +650 m)
Please note: Day 1 is already a riding day. There is no arrival night before the first stage, so plan to reach Termoli in the morning.
You will arrive in the morning and leave Termoli from its old village and Castello Svevo, climbing inland on coastal white roads, secondary asphalt and farm tracks. The Tratturo L'Aquila-Foggia and the Tratturo Centurelle-Montesecco take you to Larino and its Roman amphitheatre. An included tasting in the medieval village pairs Gentile di Larino olive oil, Pampanella and a glass of Tintilia del Molise. Overnight in Larino.

Day 2: Larino – Sant'Elia a Pianisi (65 km; +920 m)
You will ride the grassy Tratturo Castel di Sangro-Lucera along the hill ridges, with views over Lake Occhito, then climb to Sant'Elia a Pianisi and its Convento dei Cappuccini, linked to Padre Pio. Overnight in Sant'Elia a Pianisi.

Day 3: Sant'Elia a Pianisi – Sepino (60 km; +850 m)
A day on the Tratturo Pescasseroli-Candela, on country lanes and quiet rural roads, ending with a ride into the Archaeological Park of Sepino (Altilia), a Roman city with monumental gates, forum and theatre. The included tasting brings Caciocavallo di Agnone, Ventricola Molisana and a local red wine. Overnight in the Sepino / Bojano area.

Day 4: Sepino – Frosolone (55 km; +1,100 m)
Following the Tratturo Celano-Foggia, you will pass Bojano and climb to Frosolone, the medieval village of knife makers, among the karst landscapes of the Montagnola Molisana. Mountain drover roads, easy single tracks and forest tracks make this a challenging day. Overnight in Frosolone.

Day 5: Frosolone – Pietrabbondante – Agnone (50 km; +980 m)
On the high tracks of Alto Molise you will reach the Samnite Sanctuary of Pietrabbondante and its theatre-temple, then continue to Agnone, the "town of bells", home of the Pontificia Fonderia Marinelli. Overnight in Agnone.

Day 6: Agnone – Castelmauro – Termoli (85 km; +450 m)
A long descent and rolling false flats lead back towards the Adriatic through Castelmauro and the fortified village of Guglionesi, closing the loop on the seafront of Termoli.

Day 7: Departure
After breakfast, check-out and end of services.
