Elba Island and Capoliveri Mines and Virtual Guided Bike Tour

Once the tour is booked, you can go to the rental point to pick up the bicycles and start the experience with virtual navigation. The e-bike loop tour starts from Capoliveri and measures about 25 km with 520 m of positive elevation gain: medium level. The route alternates paved roads, trails, secondary roads, and a short singletrack, with regular climbs and dirt sections that require a minimum of Guide confidence. Leaving the village, the path crosses the promontory of Monte Calamita between Mediterranean scrub and views of the sea, with views of the bays and the hills of eastern Elba. The heart of the itinerary is the Capoliveri Mines area, characterized by iron-rich rocks, terraces, and old mining facilities. The contrast between the red of the earth, the green of the vegetation, and the blue of the sea makes this scene particularly evocative. The return follows the eastern side of the promontory up to Capoliveri.
