Canyon - Poggio Tondo - Monte Arsenti

The route starts in Massa Marittima (the parking place is not chosen at random but in the vicinity of Trattoria Sbrana because the sandwiches at the end of the ride are excellent). We move to asphalt and after a short dirt climb we tackle the Picci and Canyon2 trails, climb back up and ride the Serrabattini trail, following a wide farestale we regain some elevation to tackle the Diruto Castle, fun but a bit narrow and very slippery in wet weather.

We follow the river and reach the Sex Uphill climb, very well designed, strenuous but fun and never too technical. One of the best known al in the area awaits us: La Pesta, drop the brakes and have fun. When we reach the end of the trail we head for the very famous Massa Marittima Canyon, technically simple but very impressive. If you want to hike it a second time there is a quick ascent parallel to the trail.

Following the trail we return toward Massa Marittima and if one is tired, at km 33 one can return to the starting point. Those with leg and time follow the trail to the Trail Area of Monte Arsenti where we climb to the summit following the Spaghetti Trail. From the summit start numerous trails one better than the other, if you have to choose only one I recommend the Cicalino Freeride, but you can vary the route as you like. After the descent the trail heads back toward Massa.
