Cycling in Versilia

Bicycle is probably the best way to explore Versilia. In fact, there is an extensive cycle pathsystem that allows you to safely travel all the coast from Forte dei Marmi to Viareggio. This long cyclopist can be the ideal route for anyone planning to go cycling in Versiliawith children.

Those who prefer to ride on well-off roads, immersed in nature and in silence, can head to the hiking paths on the hills. It’s sufficient to move just a few km from the sea to find yourself right on hills and mountains. These are the first reliefs and the tops of the Apuan Alps that sneak ash and fairs across the coast, dominating the landscape.

The mountains offer demanding climbs and downhill techniques that are suitable for mountain biking, but also fabulous views of the sea and the local nature.

One of the most suggestive places to go cycling in Versilia is the Natural Park of Migliarino, San Rossore and Massaciuccoli. Here you can cycle along canals and lush ponds, over panoramic walkways and dirt roads immersed in nature. There is also the possibility to spot rare species of birds, migratory birds, wild boars, rabbits and other small animals living in the park.
