From the flat seafront cycle path to the hilly climbs of the hinterland towards historic villages like Corinaldo and Mondavio: 5 real routes for every level, all starting from Senigallia.
Senigallia is an ideal starting point for cycle touring in the Marche: along the sea runs a flat cycle path suitable even for families, while behind the town a hilly hinterland opens up, made of historic villages, fortresses and country roads that test legs and lungs. Here you'll find 5 real routes, listed by local tourism bodies, ranging from the flat 22 km of the Ciclovia Adriatica to the demanding 73 km towards Corinaldo and Mondavio.
Those looking for an easy ride can stay on the coast; those wanting more can head inland, through Ostra, Corinaldo, Mondavio and Castel Colonna, with stops in villages that hold 15th-century fortresses and centuries-old churches. Routes like Spicello and Querciabella mix asphalt and dirt track, for those seeking something more technical without straying too far from town.
Loft Pisacane27, in the old town, is minutes from the seafront cycle path — a convenient start and finish point for any of the routes, with the chance to leave the bike behind and enjoy the rest of the day on foot in the centre.
A flat route along the coast, starting from the Velvet Beach and following the Adriatic: 22 easy kilometres with the sea breeze at your side, suitable for every level, families included.
From the Palazzo del Comune to the harbour, then up into the hilly hinterland through San Silvestro, Grottino, Filetto, Ostra, Belvedere Ostrense, the Sanctuary of Madonna del Sole, San Marcello, Morro d'Alba and Montemarciano, before descending back to the sea and finishing at the Rotonda sul Mare: 59.5 km through villages, countryside and coastline.
A short but varied route, on a mix of dirt track and asphalt (60/40), from Senigallia to Cesano, San Costanzo and the tiny hamlet of Spicello — a handful of houses and the church of San Giuseppe built by its own residents — then on through Montecucco, with sea views, Ponte Rio and Molino Vecchio. Constant ups and downs in the silence of the countryside.
From Senigallia the route climbs towards the hamlet of Gabriella, with views over the sea as far as Ancona and Monte Conero, then on to Sant'Angelo and, along Strada della Querciabella, to Bettolelle and Brugnetto (crossing the river Misa), Passo Ripe, Ripe and Castel Colonna in the Trecastelli area, up to Corinaldo with its panoramic views. 67 km, 855 m of climbing, on a mix of asphalt and rough surfaces.
The longest and most complete route: from the seafront cycle path and the Velvet Beach heading north, through the harbour area, then into open countryside up to the first climbs. It passes through Mondolfo, a hilltop village with a double set of walls, Marotta on the coast, San Costanzo, Piaggie and Cerasa, up to Mondavio (280 m, with its 1482 fortress and Palazzo dei Malatesta) and Corinaldo, a village of late-antique origin with the sanctuary and birthplace of Saint Maria Goretti. 73 km between sea, hills and history.
