Inside the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, in the Ripalte – Capoliveri area, there is the Tenuta delle Ripalte, which has been active since 1896 as an old farm. In this natural oasis, there is Elba MTB Capoliveri with top-of-the-range e-bikes and MTBs.
Like all Elba MTB locations, it is open to both insiders and outsiders. Born in 2015, with the name of Costa dei Gabbiani Bike Center, it later became Bike Center Elba and was then incorporated into the world of Elba MTB, which includes Elba MTB Lacona and Elba MTB Portoferraio.
All Elba MTB locations work together to provide the best service.
Elba MTB Capoliveri serves as the Elba MTB experience center: its location in the heart of Monte Calamita, and within a private property (on the Costa dei Gabbiani), makes it one of the most panoramic and suggestive starting points. It offers a wide range of services, including guidance for beginners and athletes, with routes ranging from Gravel to XC, to experiences, MTB courses and stages, and finally a vast assortment regarding rental. It is also the summer headquarters of the 365mountainbike portal.
Among the most evocative events, there is the Night Music Experience: a night-time excursion on an e-bike that culminates on the beach, where you have the opportunity to listen to an iconic album under a starry sky. There is also no shortage of tastings on the magnificent terrace of the Cantina delle Ripalte, located a short distance from the Bike Center, where the flavors of the area blend with the magic of the place. To complete the offer, there are the Bike Tours at sunset, a romantic experience much appreciated by couples, which transforms every ride into an enchanted moment under the fiery sky of Elba. All always accompanied by one of our guides, professional and FCI (Italian Cycling Federation) certified.
Elba MTB Capoliveri is inside the magnificent Tenuta delle Ripalte Resort that extends for over 400 hectares overlooking the sea. Part of the Capoliveri Bike Park routes, with a maze of dirt roads and paths that extend for about 100 km, crosses the Tenuta property, offering enthusiasts the opportunity to immerse themselves in uncontaminated nature.
Our structure is right in the center of the Tenuta, right on the lawn in front of the tennis courts, the restaurant, the bar, and the swimming pool. There is also an excellent Diving Center and the La Bosana Equestrian Center, unique on Elba. The tennis center is among the most exclusive at an international level thanks to important collaborations such as the Riccardo Piatti Stages that in the past brought a young Jannik Sinner for many years.
