1000 Sassi
The off-road adventour between Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany
About 1000 Sassi
1000 Sassi in Orvieto
1000 Sassi (or Mille Sassi) is a non-competitive adventouring motorcycle rally that has chosen Orvieto, in the province of Terni, as its operational base. Organized by the MotoLampeggio Motorcycle Club and authorized by the Italian Motorcycle Federation (FMI), the event attracts hundreds of motorcyclists from all over Italy and abroad.
Dirt roads and landscapes
The heart of the event lies in the loop stages which, starting and returning to Orvieto, traverse scenic dirt roads between Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany: the slopes of Monte Amiata, the Monte Rufeno reserve, the shores of Lake Bolsena, medieval villages and little-traveled ridges. Each edition offers partly new routes, designed to combine off-road adventure, discovery of the territory and slow tourism.
Participation formulas
The event is divided into several formulas, from the One Day for a single day to the Explorer and Vip for multiple stages, for a total that can exceed a thousand kilometers. The base is in Piazza del Popolo, with the final arrival in Piazza Duomo, under the famous cathedral of Orvieto. A rally sponsored by the Municipality of Orvieto, which has become a regular event for enduro and maxi-enduro motorcycle enthusiasts.

The 2026 edition of 1000 Sassi takes place from May 28 to June 2: it is the third edition in Orvieto (sixth overall for the event), with 330 registered motorcyclists from Italy and abroad.

The base is in Piazza del Popolo from May 28 to June 1, while on June 2 the final arrival is in Piazza Duomo.
