The Basilicata Bike Trail is the best way we know to let you discover our region, bitter and hospitable, wild and beautiful.
We bring to life remote and silent roads to give you the wonder of a magical land, which is able to transform itself. The Basilicata Bike Trail is not only an event, but a dive into the archaic soul of Basilicata, which is made of a series of experiences, trips and opportunities for meeting local people.
We always build new routes and move with the seasons, like the cows in transhumance. We are not promising white roads, gravel floors, comfortable travel, flat routes, dedicated services, and accommodation facilities everywhere. Not a t all. Do you know the sensation you look for when you decide to get away from everything?
You will find it here, in a place that seems exotic and far away, but is actually located in the middle of the Mediterranean. The only buildings you will encounter among the mule tracks, the paths carved between the gullies, and the streets where the vegetation regains its space, have no roof and no people living there. Otherwise, you would have found shelter, refuge and genuine food.

WATCH THE TRAILER

"Between the late eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth, all travellers had to draw up their wills in Naples before venturing into the lands of the South; then, alone—without servants or companions—they would set off into the ‘wild’ territories of Lucania.”
Basilicata, 1962 – photographic reportage from Melfi to Avigliano
