What is Unpaved Roads

It's not a race, it's a gravel festival. Two days of biking, nature, and friendship. Each Unpaved Roads event is designed to give you an entire weekend: riding, laughing, tasting local products, and listening to inspiring stories. Our motto is simple: no race, no stress. Here, you won't find rankings—only truly gravel dirt roads, breathtaking views, and a community that welcomes you like an old friend.

Unpaved Roads
Punta Ala

Punta Ala kicks off the season on the Tuscan sea: pine trees, smooth trails, the scent of salt air, and that vacation feeling that begins as soon as you get out of the car. It's the perfect gateway for those who want to fall in love with gravel riding while gazing at the horizon.

Unpaved Roads
Val di Sole

Val di Sole takes you to the foot of the Dolomites: climb slowly, lift your head, and the mountains come toward you. Here, the air smells of the forest, and the forest roads are perfect for those seeking silence, panoramic views that suddenly open up, and that feeling of freedom that only the mountains can give.

Unpaved Roads
Foreste Casentinesi

Foreste Casentinesi closes the season within a green that seems never-ending: beech forests, silence, spirituality. It's our 'grand finale'—a hug from nature that recharges energy with every pedal stroke.

Discover the Best

A perfect gravel itinerary

Our routes are born months before the event, when we go scouting with local riders and follow the roads they truly love.

We avoid the “bad” stretches that break the fun and look for that perfect mix of flow, nature, and safety.

It’s our pact with you: authentic gravel roads, landscapes that speak, and a route designed so you can enjoy every minute.

For all skill levels (really)

If it's your first experience, you'll find a short route that lets you discover the area at a relaxed pace. If you're covering many miles, the longer one offers more elevation gain and more scenic views.

MTB and e-MTB bikes are welcome: the important thing is to want to share the road. No one is left behind here, and the best part is arriving with a smile.

immergiti nella cultura e nelle tradizioni LOCALI

The vibes

Pedaling through woods, mountains, and trails that smell of freedom. Stopping in a village for a glass of wine, sharing stories at sunset, laughing with people you didn’t know until yesterday.

This is Unpaved Roads: a shared adventure that goes beyond the bike, without a stopwatch and without stress.

AFter cycling

Our promise

We are cyclists like you, but first and foremost, we are a community. Behind every edition of Unpaved Roads, there are people who love biking, nature, and being together.

We work all year to create two days that feel like friendship: well-planned routes, good food, music, toasts, stories, and that feeling of being in the right place.

Each event is the result of work that we are passionate about: if you call it commitment, for us, it's simply pleasure.

No Race No stress

Community

Those who have ridden with us say that Unpaved Roads stays in their hearts for the landscapes and the people.

We see it every time someone returns with friends, or when at the final refreshment the tables extend on their own.

Over 3,000 cyclists have already ridden with us. Join the family: your next adventure could start with a “hello” at the village.
