This itinerary runs through the Monte Cucco Regional Park, featuring meadows and beech forests, including stunning views of Umbria and the Marche, and offers many of the highlights of the Monte Cucco mountain bike Gran Fondo, which takes place every year and attracts over 1,000 enthusiasts.
With around 1,300 metres of elevation gain over several kilometres, this is a difficult trail, although not impossible, and it also features several entertaining single tracks, which on several occasions will require you to dismount.
The trail features a long climb up to the summit of Monte Cucco, which starts after a few kilometres and ends at km 11, when you reach Punta Sasso Pecoraro. Here you can take a few moments to rest and to enjoy the panorama, as the view is truly not to be missed.
The trail then continues through the park, towards Trail No. 1, where some sections may need to be tackled on foot. At km 19.6, the last section of the climb ends and from here it's downhill all the way, alternating between short sections of paved road and fast, stony trails before reaching the valley floor, after passing through Sigillo and then continuing on to Costacciaro.
