Ride Mount Calamita by the light of a full moon: a one-hour guided e-bike loop from Tenuta delle Ripalte with several night-time viewpoints and a post-ride snack. Expect dirt tracks, mining-scarred cliffs, and a quiet coastal landscape.

The moon rides high over Monte Calamita, silvering the scrub and throwing a long reflection across the Tyrrhenian. Riders gather at Tenuta delle Ripalte, where the bar light is a small island and the sea seems to breathe toward the shore. Helmets click, bike lights come to life, and a small group of six sets off along dirt tracks that climb and roll beneath the lunar glow.
