The Costa dei Gabbiani Bike Center was born in 2015, which in 2020 changes its name to Bike Center Elba, always remaining in the splendid Tenuta delle Ripalte on the Costa dei Gabbiani. The Tenuta delle Ripalte is included in the Capoliveri Bike Park area, and is surrounded by a dense network of trails, which extend from the sea to the top of Mount Calamita (413 m), suitable for all types of bikers, from beginners to riders more experienced.
At the reach of mountain biking, without even having to travel a meter on asphalt, there are therefore about 100 km of dirt roads and single track overlooking the sea (well kept and marked) that allow you to discover an island of Elba absolutely unspoiled and wild . The small number of motor vehicles authorized to access the Park also contributes to give a pleasant feeling of safety and well-being in the uncontaminated nature.
In 2024 the collaboration with Rosselba Le Palme began, a place also immersed in nature with a botanical complex of historical importance that extends over 2 hectares of land: the garden was created at the beginning of the twentieth century, together with the villa which located right in the center, where apartments for families and small groups have been created. Inside there are many botanical species from exotic countries. The only European specimen of Palma Azzurra is found right here! You will feel like you are taking a journey around the world, with tropical plants and flowers that have come from far away, between the green of the Mediterranean scrub and the blue of the sea of the Island of Elba.
Camping Village & Glamping Rosselba Le Palme, an oasis of fun for adults and children with the Ottone beach just 500 meters from the campsite, which provides many sports and entertainment services, including a wellness area embraced by the lush nature of our garden, rich in the colors and scents of its exotic plants. Immerse yourself in the Jacuzzi tubs set in the landscape like diamonds, then lie down on the loungers in the relaxation areas, inside and outside, to let the last tensions slip away. Entering the wellness center you will find its heart, where the serenity of our guests is amplified. Emotional showers, sauna, bio sauna, steam bath and ice flakes create a path that will accompany you in the rediscovery of tranquility and new strength.
The Bike Center Elba is also the summer headquarters of 365mountainbike: former MTB magazine, web-magazine and 365tv YouTube broadcast "CLEAN inside BIKER outside". We are also Elba MTB partners, for mountain bike excursions throughout the island of Elba.
In our Bike Center you can find a full program of guided tours (the Tour of the Mines with a visit inside them is spectacular), Bike Rental (Front, Full-Suspension and E-bike) and MTB Lessons, both for beginners and for experts. The policy of our center regarding rental bikes is always: TOP OF THE RANGE.
Both Bike Centers are equipped with a workshop and spare parts for routine maintenance, both for customers and guests of the facilities.
