Thanks to its 800 km of coastline, Calabria is truly a wonder of nature! What’s more, the heart of this enchanting region of Southern Italy is brimming with huge parks and protected areas.
The Calabria Parks Cycle Network travels across the Aspromonte, Sila, Pollino and Serre mounts, offering bike enthusiasts 545 kilometres of authentic discovery, eco-friendly experiences and beautiful landscapes.
In order to share the experience of getting to know the cycle route, we present the reports made by our exceptional cycle tourists, influencers, bloggers, ultra-cyclists, journalists and photographers. This section is constantly being updated and aims to offer different perspectives and glances to tell the story of the natural and cultural landscape of the Calabrian Parks cycle route with the power of photographic images.
The Ciclovia dei Parchi della Calabria has been awarded the Italian Oscar for Cycle Tourism 2021. First place ex aequo with the Autonomous Province of Trento. "The reason for the victory was the Region's commitment to a project for the enhancement of sustainable tourism and slow mobility, focused on four wonderful and intact protected areas and on villages and towns that embody the spirit of Calabria. The Ciclovia dei Parchi is also a good example of integrated communication, thanks to the excellent organisation and the ability to present the route and the territory through the multilingual website and social channels".
