Very nice location, cool trails; something for pretty much all skill levels; but be careful: if the trail builder from the bike park catches you, you'll have to pay a day ticket right away 😮‍💨

Great trails, the lower sections have jumps and gaps Rental bikes and guides available in town (just in case, didn’t go there) You can start the round in Zonza, ride up the street and from there ride down on trails. Great round 👍 If you ride the trials, be nice and support in bike shop in zonza. They maintain the trails and deserve some acknowledgment

A small mountain junction with some infrastructure: bakeries, shops, and even places to stop for refreshments. Those driving towards the Bavella Pass from the west or south will inevitably pass through Zonza.

The road is paved and when you go downhill (fast) it suddenly ends. Quite a gap when you are not prepared.

A choice stop for lovers of the mountain atmosphere. There you will find several hotel-restaurants, grocery stores and a fairly lively atmosphere!
