Aspromonte National Park

This stretch of the Calabria Parks Cycle Route goes from the Mercante pass to the Zomaro, from the Zilastro plains to Zervò. Crossing Aspromonte towards Gambarie and it's really exciting. Nature is anything but harsh: you travel for kilometers surrounded by giant ferns at over a thousand meters above sea level among beech trees, centuries-old fir trees and sudden green prairies. It is in this stretch, near Villagio Trepitò, that you can admire the Mundu and Galasìa waterfalls, a spectacle of nature that has no equal. The descent that leads to the waterfalls must be done on foot, but it is an experience you will never forget. In this area there are also two precious refuges for those who practice cycle tourism, namely "Il Boschetto fioreto" and "Il biancospino". They offer fantastic hospitality, as does the former Zervò sanatorium, transformed into a community open to those who pass by.

Green and coniferous forests, crossed by roads with little traffic. Possible off-road detours, services not always available within the park

Always gentle slopes and at high altitude, among beech and fir forests. A monotony that never tires.
