Route done in MTB very suggestive with the escarpment partly requires a moment of attention

But..... There are those who say to let the bike slide and those like me instead on the slightly stony section get off and push it..... The view is beautiful, the surface depends on the season... Today it was very slippery and I didn't feel like risking it....

The "Panoramica Valle del freddo" hiking trail runs halfway between Castro and Zorzino. In summer, the view is obscured by trees along much of the trail. A true view of the lake is only available in the northern section.

Between Solto Collina and Castro, in the north-western part of Lake Iseo, this panoramic trail offers splendid views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. However, pay attention to the path you walk on, because in some places it is not too wide and a little exposed.

This is a famous descent for all mountain bike lovers who live in this area of Franciacorta. For several years it was the main descent of the famous Gran Fondo Gimondi, a race named after the famous local cyclist Felice Gimondi. The descent is wonderful and very fast, perfect for cross country bikes, fun albeit dangerous even when it's humid.
