Embark on the Lake Pertusillo and Grumentum Loop, a challenging touring cycling adventure that spans 26.3 miles (42.4 km). You will climb a significant 2315 feet (705 metres) in elevation, making this a difficult route best suited for experienced riders. The journey, which typically takes around 2 hours and 53 minutes, offers a captivating blend of ancient history and wild nature as you cycle through the scenic Basilicata region.
Before you set out, be aware that this is a hard bike ride requiring very good fitness due to its substantial elevation gain and demanding terrain. While much of the route is paved, some segments may be unpaved and could be difficult to navigate on a touring bicycle. Plan your visit accordingly, ensuring you are prepared for a physically demanding but ultimately rewarding experience.
This route takes you through the stunning Parco Nazionale dell'Appennino Lucano Val d'Agri Lagonegrese, where you can explore the impressive Grumentum Archaeological Park. Here, ancient Roman ruins, including the Roman Amphitheater of Grumentum, stand majestically overlooking the serene Lake Pertusillo.
