Lacona 3 discese

Three descents in Lacona: start from the parking lot of Circolo di Lacona and climb by asphalt to Colle Reciso, here left for the GTE forest road to the crossroads of S.Martino and here take the steep trail to the left that climbs to Monte Barbatoia. Before reaching the summit, turn right for the nice Barbatoia trail; fast track but with steps, outcropping rocks, steep, hairpin bends and still flowing sections and technical passages. You reach Lacona and by small roads you reach the little church of Madonna di Lacona and after a short descent you go up the nice path in the middle of olive groves that returns to the GTE forest road (with several tears).

Here you turn left and proceed for a stretch and before Monte Barbatoia turn left to take the second trail: the serra del Pero. This is also a classic of the area: fast, but very technical trail on firm but stepped rocks and boulders that give no respite until the end.At Lacona take a right and climb by asphalt to the Monumento pass and at an altitude of 150 meters take a left onto the forest road that climbs to Monte Tambone. A section that is well pedaled, but with tears.Arrived on the ridge to the left and climb up to Monte Fonza and here a nice technical descent with hairpin bends on rock and stone until you take the "Traversone" that takes us to Lacona. Spectacular and scenic section with technical passages, steep slopes and relaunches some nice tough.Arrived at the forestry road to the left for one last climb to take the Laconella trail; also technical but smooth, with steps, rocks, hairpin bends and flow sections until Laconella and from there to the parking lot by small roads.
