This difficult touring bicycle route takes you on a challenging journey from Policoro to Montalbano Jonico. You will cover 34.2 miles (55.1 km) with a significant elevation gain of 1997 feet (609 metres), typically taking around 3 hours and 31 minutes to complete. Expect varied and scenic landscapes as you cycle through Basilicata, offering broad views of the Sinni River valley from the Policoro marina. The route also provides glimpses of the distant Pollino National Park, adding to the expansive scenery.
Before you set out on this difficult touring bicycle route, make sure you have very good fitness levels. The trail primarily uses paved surfaces, which is ideal for touring bicycles. However, be aware that some segments in this wider region might include unpaved or difficult-to-ride sections. Plan your start time to allow ample daylight for the full 3 hours and 31 minutes of cycling.
One of the most distinctive features of this route is the Calanchi area, which you will encounter along the way. This unique landscape is characterized by arid clay hills and natural pinnacles, creating a lunar-like environment. You will cycle amidst olive groves and vineyards, providing a striking contrast to the dramatic Calanchi formations. This makes the journey a demanding but rewarding experience along the Basilicata Ionian coast.
