STAGE 3: Campodonico – San Cassiano Location (26 km)
The third stage of the Frasassi MTB Tour connects two thousand-year-old Abbeys (Campodonico and San Cassiano) along an ancient Roman and medieval road, from which, however, we deviate for a stretch to climb rapidly in altitude on the flanks of Mounts Purillo and Puro, enjoying wonderful views. From here it will descend again, passing through the villages of Serradica and Cacciano along a narrow valley that leads to Cancelli, an ancient Roman crossroads.
Technical description:
The route is 26 km. After passing through Belvedere, the route from an elevation of 600 m climbs rapidly up the flanks of Mounts Purillo and Puro, reaching in about 3 km over 900 m. From here it descends back into the Serradica ditch syncline and continues to Cancelli, crosses the Janus River, and continues north.
Length: 26 km

Technical tips:
Along the way it is possible to refuel with water at springs, farmhouses or hamlets. Therefore, it is recommended not to overdo the water supply so as not to carry too much weight. Instead, it is necessary to have the main spare parts for your bike with you. With, or following rain, it is possible to encounter stretches with mud. The average altitude is around 500 mt, but it is still recommended to have a windproof jacket even in warm weather.
