Signage: 727. Monte dei Pini Trail - Tour
The uphill leg of the tour is on an easy to ride forest road, but the slope should not be underestimated, whereas the descent takes place on a technically more demanding trail.
- Directions
-
Starting from the church in Tiarno di Sotto, we follow Via alla Sega until we reach a creek. Just before the creek, we turn right onto Via a la Van, marking the beginning of our ascent. After approximately 1 km, at a capital, we leave the tarmac and veer onto the forest road on the right. Continuing along the forest road, we reach the hill's summit, and shortly after starting the descent, a path comes into view on the right, which we take to descend to the valley. After a little over 1 km, the path turns into a forest road. Descending further, we arrive at a village, where we make a right onto Via Garibaldi, concluding our journey back to the starting point.
