La Zingarella

This route provides everything an ‘all mountain / cross country’ mountain biker would dream of. There are long sections of single track weaving through pine and beech forests, great decants, stiff climbs, interesting technical sections all of which is overlaid with spectacular views.
The route is based in the recently developed Voltigno Trail Centre which has 80 km of maintained, well marked trails set in an undeveloped part of Italy. For an intermediate level mountain biker it will take approximately 3 1/2 hours. An additional benefit is that it can be easily shortened or lengthened depending on how the ride is going without detracting from the experience.
