Tips from the Community
The only access to the Monastery remains that from Concesio, from where the route enters the Valsorda, following a wild and challenging track until reaching the Monastery. The climb becomes decidedly challenging, both for the gradients and for the terrain, with some short sections where it may be necessary to get off the bike and push. The subsequent descent towards the strada dei Campiani maintains a decidedly MTB character, with uneven and technical terrain, more challenging than what is normally associated with a gravel.

Very beautiful, almost entirely shaded and cool. In some places, the vegetation is very lush, but there are alternative routes. As always, there are the inevitable fallen tree trunks along the way. One in particular is 15 cm in diameter, but you can climb over it. Have a good trip!
