Enjoy the silence on your bike

A silence that’s full of sounds

Cycling along the coast of the Cilento region and amidst its mountains is the most beautiful and exciting way to discover all of its treasures. Be silent and start listening.

In silence, a thousand sounds can be heard. And the Cilentan nature has so much to tell. If you want to discover the Cilento region by bike, we recommend the Via Silente cycling trail. It’s a circular route of about 600km that runs along the coast and amidst the mountains of one of Italy’s largest national parks, the Cilento and Vallo del Diano national park. The Via Silente cycling trail is in fact the first cycling path in Italy to cross a protected area. Divided into 15 stages, with an optional stage that takes you to the summit of Mount Cervati, the Via Silente cycling trail owes its name to the sound of the places it passes through, where silence reigns supreme and only nature can be heard. The trail starts in Castelnuovo Cilento and crosses flatland, forests, lush valleys, and quaint medieval villages. It’s accessible to everybody and can be explored by mountain bike or e-bike. If you’re looking for cycling trails to try out during your stay at our bike hotel in Italy, we’ll be happy to give you our best tips.
