From the Adriatic’s Costa dei Trabocchi to Rome, the route crosses the Gran Sasso National Park, medieval villages, the ancient Via Appia, and key sites along the WWII Gustav Line, letting riders pedal through centuries of history and wild nature.

Three route options, Rookie, Epic, and Legend allow every rider to choose their own scale of adventure: from a weekend among Abruzzo’s rolling hills, to a crossing that ends in St. Peter’s Square, all the way to the long loop back to the Adriatic.

Empire Lands is more than a challenge, it’s a journey through Italy and into yourself.
