This circular tour starts east of Naples and takes you on a 75 km journey with over 1,250 meters of elevation gain – a sporty ride through volcanic landscapes and rural hinterland.
After the start, the route initially runs towards the southeast and soon leads you to the slopes of Vesuvius , where the first big climb awaits. With wonderful
With breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples, the trail continues through dense vegetation at higher elevations. Once at the top, you'll be rewarded with a spectacular panorama.
This is followed by a rapid descent before you continue inland. The route winds through small villages and lonely country roads, past vineyards, orchards, and shady forests. The climb towards Forino , a quiet town in the province of Avellino, marks the second major highlight of the tour.
After just over 4 hours you will reach the starting point again – filled with impressive impressions and tired legs.
