The Reventino-Savuto cycle route indicates an immersive route in the heart of Calabria, inspiring a true journey to discover lands unexplored by the flows of traditional tourism. It is not a trip for ordinary cycle tourists but an experience for cycle travelers looking for authenticity.Over 150 kilometres, endless curves, daring descents and ascents, the Reventino-Savuto cycle route is a small paradise for those who love discovering the world by bicycle, inspired by slowness. The map of the cycle route follows a path that supports the character of a territory with a thousand moods and unpredictable moods. Observed on paper it seems to make no logical sense, instead it indicates the stages of a journey of discovery in the most intimate, solitary and shy Calabria. The tourism that consumes and distorts everything has never arrived here: valleys, mountains and ancient stones seem to turn their backs on the sea which appears like an infinite blue backdrop. The wrinkles of this Calabria do not need a facelift to show it different from what it is, that is, a piece of the world intended for travelers in search of authenticity. The Reventino-Savuto cycle route enters a world made of Sila silences where the breath of the wind narrates events and stories of a human landscape that generates in the traveler the same spirit as the Grand Tour: "the desire to explore and discover unknown places to broaden the own knowledge and learn to live". The cycle route has a double value: it goes to discover a real world by chasing mountains, valleys, rivers, forests, towns and people; and then unfolds in a dimension suspended between past and future, revealing the face of a Calabria that has its roots in an ancient world and looks towards the world to come. The Reventino mountains are the limbs of the Sila that stretch towards Catanzaro and the Savuto is the vein of water that symbolizes the source of life for populations who have lived here since the Neolithic. This route constitutes a splendid deviation from the regional route, the Ciclovia dei Parchi, which crosses the ridge of infinite "Calabrie", from Pollino to Aspromonte, passing through the Sila and the Serre. By combining the section of the Ciclovia dei Parchi which caresses the southern Sila with the Reventino-Savuto Ciclovia, the journey becomes a magical ring of around 200 kilometers and 4,000 meters of difference in altitude: an ideal destination for trained cyclists and contemporary cycle tourists who can deceive the force of gravity caressing your muscles thanks to comfortable e-bikes.
