Embark on the challenging "Il Cimone – giro ad anello" mountain bike route, a difficult 24.1 miles (38.8 km) loop that demands good fitness and advanced skills, with some sections requiring you to push your bike. This ride takes you through diverse terrain, from technical singletracks with roots and rocks to forest roads and even some asphalted sections. You will pass through thick beech and green fir forests, vast prairies, and enchanting alpine ridge landscapes, enjoying immense panoramas from Passo Serre and the picturesque Lago della Ninfa.
Plan for a duration of around 4 hours and 39 minutes to complete this demanding circuit. The route connects the four municipalities surrounding Monte Cimone: Fanano, Sestola, Montecreto, and Riolunato, making it accessible from various points in the region. While specific trailhead details are not provided, the area is a well-known mountain biking hub, and you might find lift access available for some trails, especially during the seasonal opening of the dedicated Cimone Bike Park.
The Monte Cimone area is recognized as one of central Italy's premier mountain biking destinations, with trails often designed by experts like UCI World Cup track designer Pippo Marani. This region has been a significant hub for the sport since the late 1990s, continuously investing in trail maintenance and creation. The "Il Cimone – giro ad anello" offers extensive views from the summit of Monte Cimone, which on clear days can stretch across the Alpine arc, the Adriatic Sea, and even to the Tyrrhenian Sea and islands like Elba and Corsica.
