Total Bike Tour of about 2h : The departure time varies from 6.20pm to 7.30pm depending on the season.
An Experience full of 'Good Vibes'. The energy of sunset and the return to dusk. The unspoilt nature, the non-existent traffic (we are in the middle of Mount Calamita with the 1st village, Capoliveri, 7km apart by dirt DA), will make everything really special.
The tour will take place on Mount Calamita and then head, for bikers with a minimum of experience, to the Innamorata beach. Technically easy but unpaved route that therefore requires a minimum of cycling experience. Return at dusk, turning on the light on the bike (if necessary), towards the starting point (Elba MTB Capoliveri, in the center of Tenuta delle Ripalte) via a dirt road of about 30 minutes. Possibility, after the tour, to eat something at the bar or restaurant of the Tenuta delle Ripalte.
Here, where the green of the Mediterranean maquis fades into the blue of the sea, lies our Tenuta delle Ripalte resort on the Island of Elba, on the Costa dei Gabbiani. A place away from chaos and close to heaven, where time stops and follows the slow pace of nature, where the rust-red earth nourishes centuries-old pine trees and precious vines.
Tenuta delle Ripalte is located 9 km from the town of Capoliveri on Monte Calamita, reachable after 4 km of white road, a suggestive route, which prepares you for your arrival in this special place immersed in a dimension of peace that only the most pristine can give.
There were several extraction points on Monte Calamita and you will be able to see the characteristic places where the minerals used to create iron were extracted. Cycling on completely red lands at sunset is an unforgettable experience.
Innamorata beach is on the southern slope of Monte Calamita (Capoliveri). Once called Cala de lo Ferro, it is in fact located on the edge of the area of the old iron mines, one of the wildest and least urbanized areas of the Island of Elba.
The remaining time on the tour will be used to travel between attractions.
Once you reach the top of the village of Capoliveri, continue towards the Calamita mine / Ripe Alte (as indicated). Don't worry if the road becomes a dirt road. Arrived in Tenuta delle Ripalte (asphalt road), the Bike Center is located about 200m ahead on the right.
