You will pedal through shaded sections of coniferous forests and Mediterranean scrub, encountering unique granite formations as you steadily climb towards the peak.
Your ride commences in Tempio Pausania, where you can usually find parking for your vehicle. There are no specific permits or seasonal closures to consider for this trail, allowing for flexible planning. A helpful snack station is often available just before the summit, providing an opportunity to refuel and rest during your effort.
