Alifana Cycle Tour

An eco-friendly ride in the heart of the Alto Casertano

The Alifana Cycle Tour is one of the most anticipated events in Alife, a town in the Province of Caserta located at the foot of the Matese massif in Campania. It is a non-competitive, eco-friendly cycling tour open to everyone: families, children, cycling enthusiasts, and anyone curious to rediscover the local area while pedaling at a leisurely pace.

Alife, a Roman city to explore by bike

The charm of the Cycle Tour lies in its host location. Alife preserves the layout of the ancient Roman Allifae almost intact: a two-kilometer-long defensive wall, marked by towers and monumental city gates, encloses a rectangular historic center. Cycling along these streets is like moving through an open-air museum, passing Roman ruins, the amphitheater, and traces of the city's Samnite and Norman past.

A route between the village and the Matese countryside

The route, which is accessible to all skill levels, winds through the urban center and the surrounding countryside, offering views of the Matese and Monte Maggiore peaks and the cultivated fields of the Alto Casertano. This is not a race: the goal is to enjoy the fresh air, discover the landscape, and promote sustainable mobility. Along the way, there are refreshment points featuring local specialties, rest stops, and, in past editions, mechanical assistance and a shuttle service for bicycles.

Organized by the Pro Loco Alifana

The event is organized by the Associazione Pro Loco Alifana APS, with the patronage of the Municipality of Alife. The event is part of a broader effort to promote the historical, natural, and gastronomic heritage of the Matese region and has attracted families and cyclists of all ages over the years, often accompanied by music and entertainment.

An event for the whole family

Thanks to its relaxed pace and a route suitable even for children, the Alifana Cycle Tour is designed as a shared festive day dedicated to gentle sports, ecology, and conviviality. It is an ideal opportunity to experience Alife and the Alto Casertano in a different, slow, and sustainable way.
