May 27, 2026, View of Castello della Pietra and Vobbia River

It is located by taking the variant for the Val Vobbia of the Apennine bike tour.

It is located along the Appennino bike tour route and, coming up from Voltaggio, it is an easy and very rewarding climb, both for the views and for the absence of traffic.

From the main route of the Appennino bike tour, it is advisable to enter the center of Voltaggio and visit both the town and the Romanesque bridge.

I arrived in a camper and found a spot easily in the large lot next to the bridge. In town, I also stocked up on groceries at the small butcher's shop just as you enter the village... the owner was very friendly and the shop was well-stocked!
