Embark on the Campora San Giovanni and Lago da Belmonte Calabro loop tour, a challenging road cycling adventure that blends coastal beauty with rugged inland landscapes. This difficult route spans 37.4 miles (60.1 km) and features a significant elevation gain of 4373 feet (1333 metres), requiring very good fitness. You will start near the golden beaches of Campora San Giovanni, enjoying views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and on clear days, you might even spot the Stromboli volcano. The ride then takes you through hills adorned with vineyards and olive plantations, leading to the historic town of Belmonte Calabro, an architectural jewel perched on a rocky hill.
Plan for a duration of about 3 hours and 35 minutes, though its difficult classification suggests it could take longer for some riders. The roads are mostly well-paved and easy to ride, but be prepared for substantial hilly sections, especially around Belmonte Calabro. The best time to undertake this tour is generally from June to September, when the weather is ideal for enjoying both the ride and the seaside attractions. You will find the route offers a unique combination of vibrant coastal atmosphere and rich historical landscapes.
This loop tour is recognized as one of the top road biking routes around Belmonte Calabro, highlighting its appeal among cycling enthusiasts. It offers a unique opportunity to experience both the lively coast of Campora San Giovanni, with its 14th-century tower, and the historical richness of Belmonte Calabro, with its ancient houses and castle. The broader region of Calabria features a diverse natural environment, including scrubland, vineyards, and citrus orchards, providing a picturesque backdrop throughout your journey.
