セスティーノの峠・トップ11

The satisfaction when you reach the top is great!

No comments needed, it has to be done... It is worth it for what it represents and also because it is quiet, without traffic.

Everything is reminiscent of Marco Pantani

The Viamaggio Pass is a pass (983 m) in the Tuscan-Romagna Apennines located on the border between the municipalities of Pieve Santo Stefano and Badia Tedalda, in the province of Arezzo. The pass, which connects the Tiber Valley to the Marecchia Valley, is crossed by the Marecchiese State Road which connects Sansepolcro (Arezzo) with Rimini. Known and frequented since ancient times, in Roman times the Via Ariminensis passed through it, an ancient road connecting Arezzo and the colony of Rimini. This non-consular road, however, did not follow the current route of the Strada Marecchiese, but headed towards Pieve Santo Stefano and passed through the valley of the Sinigiola stream (the current Via Cerbaiolo, with the hermitage of the same name, which joins a few dozen of meters from the pass)

Trabocchino crossroads

step dedicated to the great champion

Renamed "Passo Marco Pantani" in March 2023, the climb of Mount Carpegna was the Pirate's famous training ground. Pantani used to say, and it's a phrase you'll read many times on the asphalt: "Carpegna is enough for me." Going up from the town of the same name, you will encounter writings, statues and many other memories of Pantani. It is also a historic climb for the Giro d'Italia: in 1973 Eddy Merckx won here.

We are located at the Trabocchino Pass, at an altitude of 1300 metres. This pass is located in a picturesque depression, offering an ideal panoramic point from which to admire Carpegna and the Mutino valley. In this area several paths intersect, including CAI paths 101, 102 and 104.
