モンテルキの絶景の山頂・トップ8

Scenic route above Arezzo, famous for Pantani participation in the Giro diItalia.

Once you reach the top of the Poti climb, there is the Rocchio refreshment point. The timed part is 7.6 km, but you already go up from Antria. The first 3-4 km are really challenging, then there is a slight slope and the last stretch, from the former Fontemura to the top, is again tough with more disconnected dirt roads and slabs.

Views are worth the climb..

Just exploring new places on this route. I would suggest taking it counter-clockwise as the way I did it was way more difficult. The weather was terrible, and the climbing around Palazzo del Pero was prohibitive as the mountainside is a big (wet and slick) rock. Lots of walking. The side toward Castiglion Fiorentino and just after passing over the state road into the Passo Dogana area is beautiful. After that, all I saw was fog.. Careful on those rocks. Also recommend tubeless with higher pressure. The rocks in this area break off and are sharp. Otherwise you'll pinch-flat real quick.

Ascent on compact dirt road, excellent for gravel but can also be done with bdc. Challenging

After a long and demanding first part from CdCastello to above Uppiano and a short mainly downhill stretch, a final uphill part. Short, but with tough breaks. Then the satisfaction of the 360° panorama that can be seen from the top of Mount

Famous climb a few kilometers from the city of Arezzo.

The view of the hills and the peace all around repay the effort made.
