La belleza de fatiga y el sabor de la aventura

A space to celebrate the land and the bicycle

The Terra Eroica and Bike Channel Lounge is the go-to spot for anyone wishing to discover the stories, routes, and wonders of Chianti, the Crete Senesi, the Val d’Orcia, and the entire heroic territory made famous by L’Eroica.

Almost thirty years ago, in Gaiole in Chianti, L’Eroica marked a return to the roots of cycling, connecting past and present through legendary sports figures, breathtaking landscapes, and the white gravel roads that have become a worldwide symbol. From that beginning, a major project has grown that now includes L’Eroica, Eroica Montalcino, and Nova Eroica, offering unique experiences throughout the year.

Thanks to Terra Eroica, you can experience the heroic spirit all year long: the Permanent Eroica Routes allow you to ride along 290 kilometers of history, nature, and culture at any time.


The Lounge: interviews, hospitality, and initiatives

During the 28th edition, Terra Eroica joins forces with Bike Channel, the TV channel dedicated to all aspects of cycling, from the professional to the amateur level.

Within a welcoming lounge area, you’ll find:

  • Interviews with supporting partners
