Holiday apartment in Avenale – cycling routes, churches and mountains

Holiday apartment in Avenale between cycling routes and culture

Avenale is ideal for travel planning that combines mountain bike routes, churches, art and mountains in the surrounding area, allowing you to set different priorities. A CAI mountain bike route leads from Cingoli via Avenale and then through the Tassinete forest. Another route follows the SP.2 and SP.114 to the village of S.M. del Rango and onwards to Avenale. It then runs through the Tassinete forest via gravel roads and single trails back to Cingoli. For planning purposes, road sections, gravel roads and single trails can be considered as different route characteristics.

Churches and art in Avenale

Sant'Elena di Avenale was originally a parish church. The church of Sant'Elena Imperatrice was rebuilt in 1795 and consecrated in 1804. Cristo delle Marche provides another specific cultural connection: the work is located in Avenale near the Domus Bonfili and was created by the sculptor Nazzareno Rocchetti. Those who wish to combine activity and culture can consider these themes alongside one another when planning their trip. The churches and the work of art give the stay a different emphasis from the routes through the Tassinete forest.

Mountains, ruins and museums in the surrounding area

Mount Monte Acuto is located in the immediate vicinity of Avenale. The surrounding area of Avenale also includes Mount Colle Colmone, the summit of Monte Faldobono and Mount Monte San Vicino. The ruins known as “Castreccioni castle ruins” are also located in the surrounding area. In the wider regional area around Avenale are Castello Silverj, a castle, as well as the Museo Archeologico “g. Moretti” and the Museo dell'Arciconfraternita del SS. Cuore di Gesu. The range of themes therefore extends from mountains and summits through ruins and a castle to two museums. The different geographical connections help you organise excursions according to your preferred landscape or cultural interests.

Equestrian sport as another local connection

Equestrian sport is also one of the specific themes around Avenale. The Concorso Ippico di Avenale horse show took place in 2025 for the 48th time. In the same year, it was organised by A.S. Avenale and supported by the municipality of Cingoli. Cingoli also hosts a national horse show held near Avenale in August. Consequently, alongside cycling routes, churches and landscapes, an interest in regional equestrian events can also play a role in your travel planning.

Choose the right focus for your stay

When deciding on a holiday apartment or holiday home in Avenale, your preferred daily routine can provide the framework. Cycling routes, gravel roads and single trails represent a sport-oriented plan; Sant'Elena di Avenale, Sant'Elena Imperatrice and Cristo delle Marche represent churches and art in Avenale. Mountains, ruins, a castle and museums broaden the view to the immediate and wider regional surroundings. This allows you to choose your accommodation according to your own interests and consider before your trip whether active routes, sacred sites, art, landscapes or equestrian sport should be the main focus.
