Tough, technical and wild ride. The Abruzzo of wonders never disappoints, beautiful mountain landscapes that have nothing to envy to more famous regions. A route not for everyone, it takes a lot of technique and concentration to ride the gravel on always treacherous terrain, where rocks and loose stones reign supreme 💪
