Monte Morello: una compilation di trail, adrenalina e puro divertimento.

A true compilation of classic trails on the slopes of Monte Morello, offering a mix of fun, flowing sections, technical passages, and decidedly challenging descents. A comprehensive route designed for mountain bikers who want it all—featuring jumps, berms, hairpin turns, rocky sections, and steep stretches where technique and concentration make all the difference. The route starts from the parking lot near the Settimello Tennis Courts, or from one of the other parking lots available in the area. From here, you begin to gain elevation toward Monte Morello, following bike paths and narrow roads until you reach the trail just below the pass. After a short climb to the right, you’ll immediately get into the thick of it with the Bozzolo (S2): a short but definitely fun trail, characterized by great flow, jumps, hairpin turns, berms, and a few rocky sections. An excellent warm-up to get your legs moving and familiarize yourself with the terrain.

Once you’ve finished the descent on the paved road, turn left and start climbing again toward Collina. Here, turn right toward Monte Morello, following the paved road. In the final stretch, you can take a shortcut on the left along a trail that leads directly to the spring. From here, continue uphill along the Girello (a gradual climb with hairpin turns) until you reach the summit (after a couple of steep sections), the starting point for another beautiful descent: the Brigante (S1/S2). A pleasant, smooth flow with jumps, hairpin turns, and a few steps that add variety to the descent, ensuring the fun never stops. Once you’ve finished the trail, cross the provincial road and ride a short stretch to the right before turning left onto the BlackMamba (S3). Here, the character of the ride changes dramatically: you enter much more technical and challenging terrain, with steps, tight switchbacks, steep sections, and a few climbs that break up the rhythm. A concentration of sections to tackle with determination and precision: a blast for those who love the toughest trails! The sequence continues with the second section, Intifada, and then concludes with VietCong—both technical and challenging (S3), featuring some seriously tough rock sections. A combination of descents that puts even the most experienced riders to the test and ultimately leads to Via delle Masse.

From here, turn left and ride uphill on asphalt to Pieve di Sant’Andrea. Turn left again and, after a short stretch of asphalt, take a trail on the left that allows you to regain elevation. The first part features a few fairly steep climbs, but the trail then becomes easy to ride, allowing you to catch your breath in preparation for the second part of the route. Once you reach the spring again, continue along the forest road, keeping to the left at the four-way intersection. Just past the crest, on the left, you’ll find the entrance to Lupo Grigio, a trail recently maintained thanks to the invaluable work of the talented local bikers. It’s a fun and well-maintained descent, characterized by a pleasant flow, jumps, and tight switchbacks that let you play with the terrain and maintain a good pace. The route (S2) unfolds in three sections, crossing the road several times, until you reach a ditch near a small bridge. Here, turn right and tackle a short, steep climb, followed by an easily rideable stretch that takes you back to Collina.

Turn left, first following the dirt road and then the trail that leads to the day’s final descent: Cappelle (S3). A grand finale, featuring a decidedly challenging trail, especially in the final stretch. Jumps, hairpin turns, steep sections, and technical passages follow one after another, leaving little room for distraction and offering an intense and deeply rewarding descent. A final test of technique and control, ideal for wrapping up this long series of trails on a high note. Once the descent is over, you emerge back onto the asphalt and, after a short stretch, reach the parking lot.
