フィアミニャーノの湖・トップ6

Of course, it can also be done easily on a road bike with 28" tires and up.

wonderful, suitable for gravel bikes

Lago del Salto is a small but successive artificial lake near Rieti whose circumference is about 32 km of asphalted and mostly flat road. A wonderful route to do by bike, even with the family, taking into account both the low car traffic and the good condition of the road surface perfectly passable with MTB, GRAVEL, City Bike, Racing bike etc. and the beautiful naturalistic views of the lake and the mountains. Along the route there are several rest areas where you can rest and eat a sandwich, but there is also a bar with a beautiful view near the dam. Also along the route you will encounter the town of Fiumata, diametrically opposite the dam, and the town of Borgo San Pietro, halfway between Fiumata and the dam, this is the ideal starting point thanks to the large spaces available for parking cars, but above all for the numerous restaurants with a view of the lake, open all year round and offering excellent local dishes, ideal to enjoy especially after a nice ride like this. For those who want to make the undertaking more challenging there is the variant that passes through Varco Sabino and then through the town of Rigatti, the tour is extended by a total of 10 km, testing a truly challenging climb and descent. Definitely worth trying.

I continue with the comment: so I was saying, Fiumata is diametrically opposite to the Dam, from this last refreshment point equipped with barxexristora you return to Borgo San Pietro and conclude the tour, refreshing yourself and tasting one of the many dishes of the local cuisine. A beautiful and fun tour, but also challenging if you decide to deviate towards Varco Sabino and then Rigatti before returning to the lakeside, extending the route by about 10 km. 100% recommended

English: a 40 km tour all on the road that runs along the Salto Lake in the province of Rieti, the tour is about 30 km almost completely flat so easy for everyone even for children. The beauty of this tour is not doing it all in one go, but enjoying it calmly perhaps with the family, stopping to take photos of the lake that at every bend shows spectacular and unique views. impressive is the large Salto dam, a work of almost 100 years ago still in operation. the road is very little traffic so it is safe to travel, obviously having at least the red light on the back is absolutely recommended. along the route there are several refreshment points, starting from Borgo San Pietro, a recommended starting point because at the end of the tour you can enjoy the dishes of the excellent local cuisine, then near the dam a small kiosk bar with a splendid view, after the dam another farmhouse where you can stop then you arrive in Fiumata, a town at the opposite end to the

Mountain lake full of life and nestled in a fantastic plateau.

The passage over the dam is spectacular and the "jump" below is very impressive.
