Short and tough trail between Montorio Castagne and Pigozzo

Short but tough this trail in the Montorio Castagne Pigozzo area.

The climb is pretty tough with significant gradients. Fortunately the bottom is mostly on concrete and asphalt, except for a short middle section with a very bumpy bottom where it is problematic to stay in the saddle. Towards the end there is a short section on steep little path where it is necessary to push on (a few minutes).

The long descent ends with the Cip & Ciop, a challenging descent due to the considerable gradient and rocky bottom. The return includes an ascent with a fairly challenging ramp, inserted to increase elevation gain and length so that the trail is a good workout.

Please note: At the beginning of the Cip & Ciop descent there is a net barring the trail in the middle of the forest. The net is easily circumvented. Since this is a small path/trail in the middle of the woods, it is a bit incomprehensible to me. Private property In the middle of dense forest overgrown with bushes and brambles? When in doubt inquire first by possibly consulting the Kteca website.
