Embark on the "From Policoro to Tursi – loop tour," a difficult touring bicycle route spanning 34.0 miles (54.7 km) with a significant elevation gain of 2291 feet (698 metres). This challenging loop takes about 3 hours and 37 minutes to complete, guiding you from the Ionian coast inland through the scenic Sinni River valley. You will experience diverse landscapes, transitioning from coastal flatlands to more elevated, rugged areas, with views towards places like Monte Coppola and Valsinni.
This hard bike ride requires a very good fitness level due to its considerable elevation changes, though surfaces are mostly paved. Be prepared for some segments in the broader Policoro region that might be unpaved and difficult to ride. If you are a touring cyclist looking for a substantial physical challenge, ensure your bike is suitable for varied terrain and that you are ready for a demanding ride.
The route is a favorite among local touring cyclists, offering a unique opportunity to explore the varied terrain and scenic beauty of Basilicata away from purely coastal paths. It highlights the natural beauty of the Sinni River valley, providing an engaging physical challenge and a blend of diverse visual experiences. This loop stands out for its move into more undulating landscapes, showcasing a different side of the region.
