Mountain biking

A demanding but rewarding mountain bike course, with technical sections and stunning views. This path takes its name from the monks who once used it to go to monasteries located in the mountains. A challenge for lovers of thrills and history

Mountain biking

a fairly challenging single track, especially in its northern section. I recommend doing it in a south-to-north direction (easier in my opinion).
