A scenic hiking path crossing Monte Strega. Features a steep, loose-rock section on the northeast side, transitioning to more open and varied terrain on the south-west slope. Panoramic views await at the summit (as always).

MTB: While ridable on a mountain bike, it’s not the most rewarding trail in the area. It can be ridden in both directions, but works best descending the on the south-west side. Climbing up from Aia di Cacio pass requires a steep 20 - 30 minute hike-a-bike (pushing), while descending that same section to the pass is just steep and loose and thus not really enjoyable.

      È vero che la salita di circa 20 minuti è faticosa e il sentiero è pieno di vegetazione, ma vale la pena solo per la vista una volta raggiunta la vetta e anche la corta discesa non è male!!!

      Sentiero fortemente sconsigliato in bici di qualsiasi genere, fortemente segnato (difficile a piedi) e quasi del tutto chiuso dalla vegetazione

      Because there is no description, I would rate the first uphill part black, if ridden from the summit. This is important to know, cause you have to get up somehow, which means carry the bike all the way up from the Passo... You are are probably not used to do it on uphill sections, which are classified as " blue". The ridge part is ok in dry condition. Had a foggy weather with slippery rocks, but it must be interesting if dry. downhill is quite short for the effort of carrying the bike to the summit.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
