Suggestive mountain bike ride in the ‘heart’ ofArgentario, on paved roads and dirt paths, to experience the beauty of the promontory and the view of the crystal clear waters of the Tuscan archipelago.

Technical description:
Starting from Orbetello, you cross the lagoon and pedal into the promontory in the direction of Porto Santo Stefano. At Pozzarello beach, leave the provincial road and take Strada dell’Olmo, turning onto the dirt road at km 11.9 that veers left south into the heart of Argentario.

The road climbs until km 19 when it intersects the Provincial Road: here begins the long descent to reach the Convent of the Passionist Fathers.
Pedaling inside the forest, you enter a dirt road, and on Via acquedotto leopoldino you reach the coast again, at Terrarossa (km 32).
Having re-crossed the Lagoon, we return to Orbetello.
