First climb on asphalt along the Valvestino lake, then a dirt road along the beautiful Val Droanello, which takes the name of the stream that we find on our left. First part slightly flat then with steep and stony sections up to Bocca di Paolone.

Gravel riding
The Val Droanello and the road to Bocca Paolone are wonderful, but challenging in both directions. Uphill, there are paved sections of up to 20% and very loose sections of up to 15%, requiring excellent fitness and a very aggressive mountain bike or gravel bike. The descent requires a great deal of gravel technique.
