Discover one of Basilicata’s most striking hidden landscapes on a guided e-bike tour through the Calanchi of Montalbano Jonico, the region’s dramatic clay badlands. These unusual formations, shaped over time by wind and rain, create a lunar-like scenery of ridges, gullies, and panoramic viewpoints.

Designed for travellers who value slow tourism and authentic experiences, this eco-friendly adventure lets you explore one of Southern Italy’s most scenic and lesser-known areas at a relaxed pace.

After meeting your guide, begin riding along panoramic hairpin bends and quiet country roads surrounding the hill of Montalbano Jonico. The route continues through striking clay ridges, open countryside, and historic mule tracks once used by local farmers. Along the way, you’ll reach evocative places such as the Teatro dei Calanchi and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the reserve.

Thanks to electric assistance, the experience is suitable even for first-time e-bike riders, allowing you to enjoy the scenery without physical strain. More than just a bike ride, this tour offers a memorable way to experience the destination — far from the crowds and immersed in the authentic spirit of Basilicata.
