Massaciuccoli e Pitoro - EASY-INTERMEDIATE
ROAD BIKE EXCURSION ON THE HILLS BETWEEN LUCCA AND THE COAST
Bike tour with racing bikes on country roads between Lucca, the Massaciuccoli lake and the hills that separate the city from the sea, with breathtaking views, an easy and an intermediate climb, which will satisfy even cyclists who want to keep fit. This route is much appreciated by local cyclists because one of the few is not demanding and due to its exposure, to the south and towards the sea, it is more pleasant even in the less warm periods.
Difficulty: INTERMEDIATE - 50 km
Difference in altitude: 500 m

The tour is available in both easier and more challenging versions.

From Lucca to the sea - INTERMEDIATE-DIFFICULT
ROAD BIKE EXCURSION FROM THE HILLS OF LUCCA TO THE COAST OF VERSILIA
A very fun and varied ring bike tour both in terms of landscapes and type of roads, which takes us to the seafront of Viareggio to breathe the sea breeze along country roads on the hills that separate the Tuscan coast from the plain of Lucca. There are two intermediate climbs in the outward and one in the return, but the circuit can be made more challenging on request. A refreshing break on the Viareggio pier is strongly recommended for cyclists who love fresh fish, even just for street food.
Difficulty: INTERMEDIATE-DIFFICULT - 70/90 km
Difference in altitude: 600/1000 m
Monte Serra - DIFFICULT
ROAD BIKE EXCURSION ON THE MOST DEMANDING ASCENT OF LUCCA
Challenging bike tour that from the center of Lucca will take us to Monte Serra (917m), the highest peak of the Monti Pisani, a small mountain range that separates Lucca from Pisa. The climb from San'Andrea di Compito, less than 10km from the city walls, is considered one of the hardest in the area due to the steep slopes and is also frequented by professional cyclists in training. The approximately one thousand meters of difference in height are accumulated in a single ascent which, at choice, can be climbed by Buti, to be a little less hard, following the itinerary in the opposite direction.
Difficulty: DIFFICULT - 50 km
Difference in altitude: 1000 m
Abetone Pass - VERY DIFFICULT
ROAD BIKE EXCURSION ON THE MOUNTAINS OF THE APENNINES FROM LUCCA
Challenging bike tour that from the center of Lucca will take us to the Abetone Pass (1398), on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, a pass that connects Central and Northern Italy. A real mountain stage, almost 2000m in altitude all in the 64 km of the outward route, of which the last 20km are very demanding. In recent years, Abetone has been the arrival of a hard-fought mountain stage of the Giro d'Italia. In addition to the beauty of the mountain landscapes and the Lima stream, the route offers historical beauties such as the Ponte del Diavolo, Bagni di Lucca and the Terme and Cutigliano. The return is mainly downhill, but it is always 64km, therefore, for those who wish, it is possible to stay at Abetone and return the following day by adding another climb, easier between Bagni di Lucca and Lucca, the Trebbio Pass, on the Pizzorne.
Difficulty: DIFFICULT - 128 km (64 + 64)
Difference in altitude: 2000 m
