Trasimeno model: Italy’s first electrified cycle tourist destination
September
Lago Trasimeno, a lake near Perugia, is the first fully electrified cycle tourist destination in Italy – a showcase for sustainable infrastructure.
Thanks to Repower Italia’s DINAclub, an innovative network has been created at Lake Trasimeno offering e-bike charging stations, digital navigation and targeted services for cycle tourists.
The new model was first used in September 2024 at the 12th “I Borghi più Belli d’Italia” cycle tourism event. Thanks to the support of DINAclub and Repower, the event experienced a leap in quality, providing participants with a modern infrastructure and improved hospitality. The fact that former Italian world cycling champion Paolo Bettini took part further increased the initiative’s reach.
The success of the Trasimeno model shows how a well-thought-out cycling infrastructure can increase the attractiveness of a region, strengthen sustainable tourism and serve as a blueprint for other areas. The goal now is to expand this concept and develop further DINAclub routes. Sustainable cycle tourism has long been more than just a trend – it’s a real development opportunity.
