Laduesse

A slow, free and authentic journey through nature, villages, culture and taste: Laduesse is the cycling event that tells the story of northern Calabria with the spirit of adventure and discovery. No chronometer, no rankings: here only the emotions, the landscapes, the encounter with the territory count.

On Sunday 1 June 2025, live a day or an entire experience on the pedals along immersive routes that cross the most evocative places between the Riviera dei Cedri and the Pollino National Park, among secondary roads, paths and ancient Calabrian villages. The start and finish are set at the Castle of Serragiumenta, in Altomonte, but you decide everything else.

There are four routes to choose from - Classic, Sunset, Sprint, Calabria Trail - suitable for every type of bike: MTB, Gravel, BDC, e-bike. For those who want the longest and wildest experience, there is the Calabria Trail, an ‘unsupported’ 178 km cycling tour with 3564 metres of elevation gain, GPS track in hand and no constraints other than to enjoy the freedom of the trip.

You will cross places rich in history, nature and spirituality: Altomonte, Belvedere Marittimo, San Donato di Ninea, the lakes of Fagnano, the Vuglio and Frà Giovanni waterfalls, the Shrine of the Madonna del Pettoruto, the church of San Giovanni Battista in Acquaformosa, the cathedral of San Nicola di Mira in Lungro. And again, authentic flavours thanks to partner restaurants and facilities, for an all-Calabrian welcome.
