Meeting at 9:30 a.m. in Via Fontana della Difesa, Pescasseroli.
Our tour begins at the edge of the Boschi della Difesa, where the e-bikes are delivered and adjusted to fit each participant. After a short introductory briefing with the guide, we set off along an unpaved road surrounded by greenery, immersed in a dense ancient beech forest that seems to guard old and mysterious stories.
The climb is made easy by pedal assistance, and every bend offers new perspectives: quiet clearings where light filters through the branches like a natural cathedral, and panoramic viewpoints from which the gaze stretches over unspoiled valleys and the park’s main peaks.
The destination of our route is the Sanctuary of Monte Tranquillo, a place rich in history, spirituality, and beauty. Nestled among the mountains, silent and solemn, the sanctuary is reached after about an hour and a half of cycling. Here, time truly seems to stand still: you breathe in the thin air, listen to the wind moving through the trees, and take a break to reflect, take photos, or simply remain in silence, listening to nature.
The return route follows the same dirt track, but the light changes, the landscape transforms, and the magic is renewed. Once again, you pass through beech forests that feel even more alive and welcoming, skirt green clearings dotted with wildflowers, and enjoy panoramic views that offer a final glimpse of the park’s wonders. A gentle, relaxing return, perfect for savoring every moment.
