Embark on a moderate touring bicycle journey through the Maremma Park, a 14.4-mile (23.1 km) loop that offers a mix of asphalt, bike paths, and gravel tracks. You'll cycle through ancient olive groves, some over 400 years old, along the scenic 'Strada degli Ulivi', enjoying gentle climbs and descents. The route provides stunning views of the Tyrrhenian coast and enchanting beaches, including a clear sight of Torre di Collelungo. With an elevation gain of 531 feet (162 metres), this loop can typically be completed in about 1 hour and 46 minutes, making it a rewarding ride for its duration.
To plan your visit, consider starting near visitor centers like Alberese, where parking is generally available. The park offers various access points, and many sections are suitable for bicycles. While the route is moderate overall, be aware that some unpaved segments might require a bit more effort. It's a good idea to check local conditions before you head out, especially if you're concerned about specific trail surfaces.
This trail is a fantastic way to experience the diverse landscapes of the Parco Naturale della Maremma. As you ride, keep an eye out for the region's unique wildlife, such as wild Maremma cattle and horses grazing in semi-natural meadows. You might even spot fallow deer or wild boar, particularly during the quieter hours of early morning or late afternoon. The route truly highlights the natural beauty and ecological richness of this coastal area.
