Description

Day 1: Fabriano
Arrive independently in Fabriano and check in to your hotel. Afterwards, a detailed briefing, accompanied by an aperitif, will introduce the tour. This moment will be the prelude to a gastronomic journey through the tastes and traditions of the region.

Day 2: Fabriano - Genga (33 km; +600 m)
Your tour starts with a cycle through the majestic landscapes of the Apennines, where views open up to a height of 1700 meters. Fabriano, renowned for its centuries-old papermaking art, will welcome you, revealing pages of history at every corner. On request, you may attend a workshop with a master papermaker in Fabriano to create your personal sheet of paper. We recommend visiting the Valadier Temple in Frasassi, an octagonal sanctuary, embedded in the heart of the rock. This neoclassical work, commissioned by Pope Leo XII and designed by the famous architect Giuseppe Valadier, represents a perfect fusion of art, faith, and nature, offering a moment of deep reflection and connection with the history and spirituality of the place.

Day 3: Genga - Montecarotto (40 km; +800 m)
After a hearty breakfast, you will cross the Regional Natural Park of the Gola della Rossa and Frasassi. Here, you can discover the famous underground caves, a hidden world that tells ancient stories through its natural formations. Subsequently, you will immerse yourself among lush vineyards and the historic villages of Genga, Serra San Quirico, and Montecarotto, which will give you a glimpse into the rural life of Le Marche. The day will end in Montecarotto where you will spend the night in a characteristic farmhouse surrounded by the tranquility of the countryside. As an optional activity, you can dress up as a beekeeper and learn the art of extracting royal jelly.

Day 4: Montecarotto - San Marcello (42 km; +750 m)
After leaving Montecarotto, you will venture into the heart of the Lacrima di Morro d'Alba wine-growing region. Here, you will encounter the charm of the homonymous village, cradle of this unique wine, where every corner tells a story linked to the winemaking tradition. Your day will reach its peak in San Marcello, a place where time seems to slow down. Here, you can indulge in moments of pure relaxation while admiring the vastness of the Adriatic Sea, a view that inspires serenity and invites reflection. You can sign up for a Masterclass dedicated to the tasting of extra virgin olive oil.

Day 5: San Marcello - Offagna (40 km; +800 m)
Sunflower fields and landscapes that once inspired the poet Leopardi will frame your journey. Cycling towards Polverigi first, a formidable castle reigning over the Ancona hills affectionately called Roccolo for its circular shape, and after crossing the serene waters of the Esino River, you will enter the heart of Offagna. This village, perched atop a striking tuff rock, offers views that stretch to the blue sea, bestowing a sense of freedom. 

Day 6: Offagna - Sirolo (50 km; +650 m)
Your itinerary will take you to the heart of the Monte Conero Natural Park, a natural gem overlooking the Adriatic. A must-do experience is the exploration of the Camerano caves, also known as the underground city of Camerano. This fascinating underground labyrinth, full of tunnels and corridors, hides right under the city. Inside, you will find yourself surrounded by vaults, bas-reliefs, and finely decorated columns, witnesses of a mysterious and alluring past that waits only to be discovered. Subsequently, you will arrive in Sirolo, also nicknamed the pearl of the Adriatic, where the blue of the sea merges with the green of nature. A restful break in Porto Recanati will allow you to savor the tranquility of this charming corner of the coast, before heading to Loreto. Loreto is a charming town known for the Basilica of the Holy House: a revered place and pilgrimage destination for centuries, which continues to be one of the most significant sites for Catholic faithful all over the world. The day will end on the golden beaches of the Conero Riviera, where you can witness a spectacular sunset.

Day 7: Sirolo
After breakfast, a convenient transfer will take you to the Ancona station or airport, then end of services and individual departure.
