Not just sea, sun, and beaches, the Island of Elba can undoubtedly be called the paradise for cyclists.
With short distances, varied altitudes, technically interesting trails, and enjoyable routes, the island satisfies cyclists of all levels and experience, who can choose whether to venture into the wooded inland areas or follow the spectacular coastal paths. Additionally, the mild and welcoming climate makes this outdoor sport pleasant all year round.
In the summer, on the coastal roads, a light breeze blows that keeps the heat at bay, and even on the sunniest days, the shade of the chestnut trees, as you climb toward the mountains, always provides a refreshing shelter. The colors of autumn make the landscape picturesque, while in winter, as you cross the paths winding through the heart of Elba, you may catch a glimpse of the highest peaks of the island or nearby mountains, covered in a blanket of snow. Then, when the wild nature of Elba awakens and becomes lush, it also excites the "Sunday cyclists" to enjoy the scenery, soaking in the colorful views and the aromas of herbs, violets, broom, and, of course, the sea.
Everyone can explore the Island of Elba by bike: on mountain bike through the forest trails, with a road bike to visit the coastal villages and those perched on the mountain slopes; uphill and downhill following the mule tracks and stony paths, because Elba is also waiting to be discovered by those who practice this sport more intensively.
