A Destination Loved by Local Cyclists

Monte Argentario has long been cherished by the local cycling community. The Gruppo Ciclistico Monte Argentario even organizes the annual Gran Fondo dell’Argentario, a thrilling 42 km mountain bike race on scenic dirt tracks that climb up to 600 meters above sea level.

Now, thanks to a new partnership between Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort and Unicorn Mobility (in collaboration with Pirelli), guests can explore the area in an even more eco-friendly and comfortable way. Premium pedal-assist e-bikes are now available at the resort — perfect for discovering the natural beauty of the territory without breaking too much of a sweat!

3 Amazing Argentario Cycling Routes to Explore

1. Lagoon, Ruins & Sea – Orbetello – Ansedonia – Feniglia

This route takes you from Orbetello, a charming town on a WWF-protected lagoon (you might spot pink flamingos!), all the way to Ansedonia, a quiet seaside village next to the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Cosa.

Along the way, pedal through the Duna Feniglia Nature Reserve, a 7 km shaded trail between the sea and the lagoon. It’s flat, peaceful, and perfect for vintage bikes or families looking for a relaxing ride.

2. Fishing Villages & Forts – Porto Ercole – Porto Santo Stefano

This scenic road links the two historic fishing villages of Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano. Expect stunning sea views, fortresses perched on cliffs, and plenty of seaside bars to stop for gelato or fresh seafood.

In Porto Ercole, admire Santa Barbara Square, the Spanish fortresses like Forte Stella and Forte Filippo, and the lovely harbor. In Porto Santo Stefano, explore the ancient Spanish Fortress and the two picturesque ports.

It’s a dream route for road cyclists and history lovers alike!

3. Nature & Spirituality – Convento dei Frati Passionisti & Punta Telegrafo

If you love peaceful rides and panoramic views, head to the Convento dei Frati Passionisti. This 18th-century monastery is tucked into the forest and offers panoramic views over the Orbetello Lagoon and Giannella beach.

From there, a short climb brings you to Punta Telegrafo, the highest point of Monte Argentario at 645 meters. On a clear day, you can even see the Islands of Giglio and Giannutri! It’s a bit of a workout – but totally worth it.
