Green Itineraries
are easy and well accessible routes, ideal for families with kids. They run through the shady woods of the natural Oasis Bidderosa, visiting the beaches and the famous lagoons populated by pink flamingos.
Orange Itineraries
are ideal for cyclists who are experienced in riding on long routes and wild areas with scarce telephone reception. If you choose not to have a guide you should be able to manage all the risks involved with cycling alone. The use of a GPS navigator is essential but we recommend booking one of our experienced guides.
Red Itineraries
are suitable to seasoned and well-trained cyclists only. They are wonderful routes that follow wild paths on isolated areas with no telephone reception. These trails are characterized by very steep slopes on uneven and very hard terrain. As communications are out of question and difficulties can be extreme, we highly recommend hiring one of our guides.
Hiring to one of our guides means relying on a professionist with proven knowledge of the territory and awareness of all its difficulties and natural features. They are experienced in group management and in solving any sort of technical, mechanical and environmental emergencies.
NB: our guides are the best resource to face, understand and live a journey in complete safety. They cannot be substituted by any device.
