ITALIA

General track information:

The journey starts in Bertinoro, known as the ‘balcony of Romagna’, where rolling vineyards give way to gravel climbs and wooded ridges. The route passes fortress towns such as San Leo and Urbania, with their stone silhouettes standing guard over the surrounding valleys to conclude the journey near the Umbrian city of Città di Castello, which is embraced by Renaissance walls and cobbled streets.

From there, the route continues across Umbria’s green valleys, winding through olive groves and chestnut forests with glimpses of Pietralunga and near Gubbio, and Assisi — towns where medieval piazzas and basilicas dominate the hillsides. The day concludes at Lake Trasimeno, where the setting sun turns the waters gold, evoking the ancient battles that were once fought on its shores.

The next stage takes riders into southern Tuscany, where the landscape opens up to reveal rolling vineyards and hills lined with cypress trees. The route provides a spectaculat an cinematic view of Pienza, the Renaissance ‘ideal city’, before winding through gravel ridges to the dramatic arrival in Orvieto, a citadel perched on volcanic cliffs. Finishing the day in front of its Gothic palaces and piazzas is like stepping onto a living stage set where history and scenery converge.

From here, the journey plunges back into the wild heart of the Apennines. Narrow gravel trails and shaded forest paths lead across tranquil ridges where shepherd’s huts and mountain meadows preserve echoes of a bygone way of life. Arriving in Leonessa in the evening, with its medieval gates and timeless alleys, provides a fitting pause after a day that feels more like exploration than travel.

The final chapter is both celebratory and cinematic. The track crosses the high ridges and pastures of Abruzzo, framed by the Maiella Mountains, before descending towards the Adriatic coast. Vineyards and chestnut groves signal the approach of the coast, where the road winds through olive groves along the Costa dei Trabocchi. Here, wooden fishing platforms stretch into the waves and the journey comes to a close at Trabocco Punta Isolata. With sea breezes, fresh seafood and the satisfaction of having crossed Italy from the mountains to the shore, the ride ends in true Italian style — a perfect balance of adventure, culture and simple pleasures.

WARNING:

The track crosses some areas of environmental interest where it is allowed to travel in groups of up to 20 motorcycles and transiting outside the streets (gravel or tarmac) is forbidden.

We have classified the ACT Italy track as **easy**, making it suitable for beginners with off-road skills. In our understanding, this means that you should have completed at least two full-day off-road training courses at a professional training school, one of which should have been an advanced training. Additionally, your off-road experience should go beyond riding on gravel roads.

Please note that the difficulty level of the track can vary significantly due to changing weather conditions.
