Beautiful tour. Perfect for an MTB Trail. With good preparation, apart from very few sections, it is all rideable. There are fountains and at the Duca degli Abruzzi refuge you can eat and get water.

Very challenging tour at times with demanding technical passages, requires good training, given that the tour was done on an e-bike, very suggestive setting, with beautiful views and panoramas, I highly recommend it.....

A classic, beautiful and very panoramic, and varied in terms of environments and terrain.

Beautiful ring starting from Fanano, spectacular and panoramic places, not for everyone, good training necessary, two sections for ME challenging, the descent from the Colombino pass quite technical and the climb towards the Riva pass with steps ☺️🚴
