    Tips

    Descent, with some climbs, suitable for everyone. The trail is wide enough to safely handle crossings with other bikes and hikers. The route is always accessible in rain, light snow and obviously dry. It is my favorite “dirt road” together with the 7 traverses when the ground elsewhere is wet. At the top you will find passages on chalk rocks where you can go in search of the best line and stretches of compact earth and stones. The upper section that starts from via dell'Eremo and arrives at the intersection with the path that crosses part of the Parco dei Gessi above via Gaibola lends itself to speed challenges with yourself or with friends, with downhill and uphill sections where you can relaunch and prepare for the next descent. The chalk sections "fly" easily with a full, nothing difficult but really give taste.
