Your adventure from TRAPANI

Cycle tourism is a constantly growing phenomenon, especially in the internal areas of the regions. Far from traffic, crowds and above all from places already known and seen, in the internal areas it is possible to discover mysterious and fascinating cycling destinations in which to experience unforgettable cycling adventures or relaxing cycling holidays in places usually visited only by locals, where crowded groups tourists on buses do not arrive.

The cycle tourist is not a tourist on a bicycle but a cyclist on holiday: a serial sharer, hungry for spectacular views and free roads to race on.
