The pristine landscape of the Gran Sasso provides the backdrop for an unparalleled experience.
The ancient white roads of transhumance offer an ever-changing panorama, from green, forested valleys to springs, shepherds' watering holes where the freshest water flows, amidst the arid rocky contours of the highest peaks of the Apennines.
Further downstream, the villages of the Gran Sasso Park reveal places and faces steeped in history: Castel del Monte, Castelvecchio Calvisio, Barisciano, Calascio with its fortress, Santo Stefano di Sessanio, all the way to the majestic Campo Imperatore plain and the over 2,000-meter Pantani peak.
Race. Ride. Relax.
Nova Eroica is a unique format that alternates timed sections with free-paced sections, offering the perfect balance between competitive spirit and conviviality. Give it your all on the climbs, then slow down to enjoy the scenery, the local flavors, and the pleasure of riding with friends.
It's not just the finish line that counts, but the journey, the stories, and the shared spirit of heroic cycling.
A tour of the Rocca di Calascio will allow you to fully admire the charm of this ancient castle—the highest in Italy—exploring it from multiple perspectives, across valleys and plateaus.
