Cycling routes traverse Italy's Monti Sibillini region

Cycling routes through the Monti Sibillini region of Italy serve as both recreational adventures and journeys of remembrance. The ‘Via del Cuore’ (Way of the Heart) is an annual bicycle trip passing through locations such as Norcia, Castelluccio, Accumoli, and Amatrice. Originally established in 2020, the route aims to bring attention to communities still recovering from the physical and social scars of past earthquakes.

Complementing these themes of exploration, gravel touring in the heart of the Sibillini mountains offers technical challenges for cyclists. Routes such as the trek from Visso to Norcia involve significant elevation gains, including climbs to Monte Cardosa and Forca Ventosola, traversing diverse terrains from steep gravel paths to high-altitude plateaus.
