About this tour
Spend a full day cycling through the quiet villages and farmland south of Palermo, reaching the rural heartland by regional train. You'll pedal secondary roads through working countryside—olive groves, small towns, and open vistas—on your choice of road, hybrid, or mountain bike. The guide knows the back routes where you'll find authentic Sicily without the crowds, and the pace suits riders with solid fitness rather than racers.
Highlights
- Train ride with bikes to Roccapalumba village
- Quiet secondary roads through working farmland
- Olive groves and traditional Sicilian landscapes
- Choice of road, hybrid, or mountain bikes
- Expert local guide leading small groups
- Helmet and repair kit supplied
What to expect
You'll meet your guide, collect your bike (road, hybrid, or MTB—pick your preference), then head to the station with bikes in tow. The regional train takes you inland toward Roccapalumba. Once there, you'll spend 6–8 hours riding quiet country roads through villages and open countryside. Expect gentle climbs, proper surfaces, and long stretches where you see more sheep than cars. The guide sets a steady touring pace and knows where the light and air are best. Bring water; there may be brief stops in small towns, though a proper lunch break isn't included.
