The characteristic and beautiful climb that leads from Trapani to Erice.

The beautiful city of Erice. https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erice

The climb to Erice is definitely a challenge, but one that is worth it! Even during the first switchbacks you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of Trapani. The view of the glittering sea and the Aegadian Islands such as Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo motivates you, despite the steady gradient of 4-5%. It goes uphill slowly, but the view quickly makes you forget the effort. The road is largely easy to ride, if a little narrow, but the elevation adds up - to the summit of Monte Erice at about 750 meters above sea level. Ride early in the morning or in the evening to avoid the more intense heat and to take in the special light over the bay. And for anyone who might be hesitant: it is doable, whether on a racing bike or touring bike! Once you get to the top, you can treat yourself to a little tour through the winding streets of the city. A highlight that can be easily combined with a sporty tour!

The Porta di Trapani is the main entrance gate to the historic town of Erice and is part of the impressive Elimi-Punic Walls. These were originally built by the Elimi in the 8th century BC and later reinforced by the Punics. The gate itself probably dates back to the Norman period, with an architectural structure that suggests it was built in the Middle Ages. The massive stone blocks of the lower sections and the robust construction reflect the military importance of this gate. Passing through the gate, you are transported straight into the narrow, cobbled streets of Erice, which exude the charm of a bygone era. However, one must be prepared for the occasional car driving through the alleys - a small downer in this otherwise historic atmosphere. Just beyond the Porta di Trapani begins picturesque Erice, which with its medieval architecture and elevated position offers fantastic views of the surrounding countryside​ ITINERARI DEL GUSTO TRAPANI ​ ENJOY SICILIA .
