E-bike in the Castelli Romani, by train from Rome

Castel Gandolfo

The train tickets are inside the price, so the day starts on a platform in Rome and carries on along a road between two crater lakes. You ride the rim of the Alban Hills, Castel Gandolfo across to Nemi, on an e-bike.

How the day goes

  1. Meet by the Tiber near Lepanto, pick up the bike and the helmet, and go to the train.
  2. The train does the dull part and puts you down where the hills start.
  3. Ride from Castel Gandolfo over to Nemi: two crater lakes, and the villages that sit above them.
  4. Lunch is yours to choose in one of the towns, then the train back into Rome.
  5. The assist takes the climbs, so what you remember is the view and not the gradient.

It is a full day of pedalling with an age floor on it — with younger children, or lighter legs, the thermal pools out at Tivoli make the better day.
