The main climb up Mount Parnithais a stunning climb on excellent roads. It's a really nice gradient (not too steep) and takes you up to the abandoned sanatorium at the top of the climb.

The ascent to the top of Mount Parnitha is a special experience for anyone who enjoys travelling on two wheels. The road winds its way up the mountain with a gentle, steady incline - not too steep, but challenging enough to keep your muscles moving. The asphalt is in good condition, which makes the ride pleasant as the landscape opens up around you.

On your way up, you will be accompanied by the rough beauty of the rocks and the sparse vegetation. The isolated, wind-shaped trees that decorate the mountainside are particularly striking - they tell of the harsh climate up here. The curves keep offering new perspectives on the surrounding landscape and invite you to stop for a short while to enjoy the view.

Once you reach the summit, not only a magnificent view awaits you, but also the old, abandoned sanatorium, which exudes a mysterious atmosphere. It is worth stopping for a moment and taking in the peace and quiet before you start the descent.

This section is located in the protected natural park Δρυμός Πάρνηθας – so please pay attention to the applicable regulations and respect nature.
