Almost a kilometre and a half long, on the southern slopes of Monte Pietramarina, the "La Fortezza" trail is one of the most popular in the area between Cerreto Guidi and Poggio A Caiano. It is suitable for mountain bikes and can be tackled almost exclusively downhill, perhaps with a full-suspension or downhill bike.

It is one of the most popular trails together with the Etrusco and therefore it is usually free of branches and various obstacles that are cleaned both by the "trail builders" of the area, but also by common riders who, finding stones or branches, clear the track anyway out of their habit. It is a Trail that does not present particular difficulties (except perhaps in a passage or two) also suitable for those who are starting to tackle single tracks and who are beginners. It is quite flow even if at times it is dug and with steps that form in the curves due to the very fact that it is very "trafficked" especially on weekends. Even the climb is quite easy since it can be done by tackling the asphalt road that goes up starting from the main road of Pinone and which is in any case closed to normal vehicular traffic.
