アバディアサンサルヴァトーレのバイクパーク・トップ6

Spectacular route through a beech forest

The origin of the term "Macinaie" has no certain scientific explanation. In 2012, however, dozens of millstones made of trachytic stone, probably dating back to the Middle Ages, were found in the highest part of the mountain, about three kilometers from the town; with a diameter of about 70/80 centimeters. They were perhaps used to grind wheat, cereals and dried chestnuts. The area, therefore, could have been a rudimentary millstone laboratory, made with peperino stone from Amiata. The discovery would provide an explanation for the birth of the toponym "Macinaie", as a place where millstones were built.

Starting and finishing point where you can take the chairlift to reach the summit and the trail area, we also find bars, restaurants and snack bars.

Beautiful trails immersed in one of the most beautiful beech forests in Italy, as well as for lovers of downhill skiing, the Bike Park organized with a chairlift to take bikes to the top.

Also a place to escape the summer heat. It is much cooler up here.

The crossing and starting point for the last section on Monte Amiata.

Very well laid out and constantly maintained trail with quite technical sections, but it is easy to drive. If that's not enough for you, you'll find challenging passages with long jumps on the other trails in the park. Overall highly recommended.

Beautiful and really fun trail some more difficult passages with jumps are avoidable but it remains not suitable for everyone good driving skills are required.
