The Cammino Retico Bike is 287,1 km long and runs through Italy, across the provinces of Belluno and Trento. You use the Cammino Retico as your reference point: an officially recognised long-distance hiking trail from Sovramonte to Levico Terme. What stands out about this route: it’s built as a gravel challenge, prioritising stretches away from main roads rather than a classic cycle-path network. It’s less about blasting from A to B and more about riding sportily through a clearly defined region on constantly changing surfaces. That makes it a good fit mainly for experienced gravel riders and fit e-bike riders who are happy to handle navigation and day planning themselves. For families or beginners, it’s usually a step too far. If you plan the trip on your own, you’ll need reliable track data, a realistic day-by-day split, and a solid accommodation plan. That prep is what decides whether the 287,1 km flows smoothly or you end up wasting time on the way.
