Matanna Freeride: dalla vetta fino in Candalla senza tregua

After the loop built around the descent of Monte Matanna, La Quadra del Matanna, here is the most direct route down into the valley and, probably, also the most technically challenging: from the summit of Monte Matanna all the way to Camaiore. It starts immediately with steep ridges, technical scree slopes, and grassy valleys in pure freeride style all the way to Bozzone, then continues with freeriding along natural and challenging lines from Foce del Pallone until it rejoins CAI Trail 105, the famous Fruttosio, which leads all the way to Casoli.

From there on, the pace doesn’t let up: the final stretch toward Candalla remains intense, physically demanding, and relentless.

The result is a technical, intense, and relentless route where choosing the right line is crucial. A descent that, due to its difficulty and continuous nature, can be considered among the most demanding in the southern Apuan Alps. Today tackled in the company of Federico, known as Federock.
