About this tour
A challenging loop ride through the Amalfi Coast hinterland starting from Amalfi, climbing steeply to the hilltop town of Ravello, then ascending further on quiet mountain roads before descending via a different route towards Maiori with a coastal finish. The 3–7 hour ride suits cyclists with moderate fitness; e-bikes make the steep sections manageable. You'll tackle genuine climbs, discover serene backroad sections, and finish with coastal views.
Highlights
- Steep climb from Amalfi to Ravello with rewarding ridge views
- Quiet mountain roads away from tourist crowds
- E-bike option for those wanting less physical strain
- Loop descent into Maiori via alternate route
- Short coastal stretch at ride's end
- Coffee break and water provided mid-ride
What to expect
Expect a demanding day on the bike. The initial ascent out of Amalfi to Ravello is steep and unrelenting; without an e-bike, this section tests your legs hard. Once in Ravello, the climbing continues on quieter, narrower roads as you head toward the pass—fewer cars, but still gradient. The payoff arrives at the top: the landscape opens up dramatically. The descent towards Maiori feels faster and easier, though the final kilometres on the coastal road can get busy with traffic, so steady handling matters. A café stop breaks the ride partway through.
Good to know
Book early and confirm your height and preferred bike type (road, trekking, mountain, or e-bike) so suitable machines are reserved. You'll need moderate cardiovascular fitness; the route isn't suitable for those with spinal problems or pregnancy. Wear your own cycling shoes if you have pedal preferences; helmets and water are supplied.
