The experience

You ride a quad bike designed for two people through the Alcantara Valley, following a guide who leads the route. The terrain is mostly off-road, 80% of the hour, so you're navigating dirt tracks and natural ground rather than paved roads. The Alcantara Gorges, also called the Larderia Gorges, sit within the Alcantara River Park, a protected area in the municipality of Motta Camastra. The guide speaks English or Italian and handles the route while you focus on the ride itself.

The quad comes fueled and ready. You don't arrange transport separately or wait for a shuttle. One hour is enough to cover the main terrain without a full-day commitment, so this fits into a morning or afternoon alongside other plans. The pace is set by the guide's lead bike, so you're not navigating alone or stopping to consult a map.

What’s included
