Il Mags

what is the MAGS EXPERIENCE?

The Mags Experience (Acronym for Mar Adriatico GranSasso), is a Bikepacking Trail connecting our Adriatic Sea to the Gran Sasso D’Italia. You will cross ancient villages, unspoilt plateaus and colourful hills. All this you can discover, including art, history and traditions in a single bike trip, all on your own. You will have points of interest on gpx and paper maps, where you can stop for a rest, refreshments and to discover the wonders of Abruzzo. Suitable for both mountain bikes and gravel bikes, with two different routes to enhance the user experience in the area.

how mags was born?

Our Trail, born from the desire of a group of friends who, after having explored the length and breadth of our region, accepted an idea from Moreno Agnellini to create a bikepacking tour through the wonders of Abruzzo.

THE TERRITORY

Located in central southern Italy, Abruzzo stretches from the heart of the central Apennines to the Adriatic Sea, on a predominantly mountainous and wild territory. Its morphology constitutes a paradise for continental flora and fauna; about 75 per cent of European species are located in our region. Abruzzo is one of the greenest regions of the old continent, the extent of its natural heritage is immense, just think that in this small peninsular region there are three national parks, one regional park, 38 protected areas between regional oases and state reserves. In total, 36.3% of the regional territory is under environmental protection. Abruzzo, the biker’s paradise.

FOOD AND WINE

Meat, fresh fish, fine wines and cheeses, rich first courses and desserts for every taste: Abruzzo food appeals to everyone and has the colours of the enchanting valleys at the foot of the Gran Sasso and the scent of the sea. The diversity of the Abruzzo landscape blends at the table in a unique blend of typical dishes.

Abruzzese gastronomy has recently been re-evaluated as one of the richest and most original in Italy. There are many typical dishes that tradition has handed down with unique imagination and creativity.
