Highlight • Natural Monument

Just a few kilometers from the coast, the mountains rise, some of them over 1000 meters high. It is also fun to cycle down the serpentines to Massa.

Passo del Vestito

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Incredibly, this passage is little known, but beautiful. From both sides you can admire wonderful views. Although the climb is long, the pass does not have a prohibitive slope. There are some short tunnels on both sides.
