The slow cycling caravan stops in Alto Molise
The Appennino Bike Tour is a major cycle touring itinerary that runs along the Apennine ridge for over 2600 kilometers, promoting slow and sustainable mobility as a driver of development for inland mountain areas. In 2026, the tour stops in Carovilli, a municipality in Alto Molise in the province of Isernia, on July 10.
The stage is promoted as part of the Vivi Appennino project and the Alto Molise Biosphere Reserve (MAB), recognized by UNESCO, which brings together the municipalities of Carovilli, Chiauci, Pescolanciano, Pietrabbondante, Roccasicura, San Pietro Avellana, and Vastogirardi in the ASSOMAB consortium. The area has developed the Outdoor Alto Molise network, with over 100 kilometers of routes for cycling, trekking, and horseback riding, and charging stations for e-bikes and rest areas.
More than a race, the Appennino Bike Tour is an opportunity to discover the beech woods, ancient drove roads (tratturi), and villages of Alto Molise by bike. The Carovilli stage is part of a valorization strategy aimed at promoting the Apennines as a modern, green, and welcoming destination, capable of combining slow tourism, the environment, and local communities.
The 2026 Carovilli stage of the Appennino Bike Tour is scheduled for July 10, as confirmed in November 2025 by the organizers. The event, promoted by Vivi Appennino and the Alto Molise Biosphere Reserve (ASSOMAB consortium), enhances the Outdoor Alto Molise network — over 100 km of routes for cycling, trekking, and horseback riding — and the philosophy of slow mobility as a driver of development for the inland Apennine areas.
The Appennino Bike Tour stage crosses the territory of Carovilli and Alto Molise along the routes of the Outdoor Alto Molise network. The detailed program (start times, meeting point, and side activities) will be announced by the organizers of Vivi Appennino and the MAB Reserve closer to the event.
