6TH ROUTE: Valdolmo – San Vittore (32 km)

The sixth stage of the Frasassi MTB Tour takes place in the Gola della Rossa e di Frasassi Regional Park, in an incredible mix of natural and historical-artistic natural. Eagles, kites and hawks are the kings of this area, between gorges and pristine mountains, and it is easy to often see them in flight. A rewarding route with beautiful single tracks.

Technical description:
The 31.5-kilometer route has a pleasant, flowing course with a couple of short climbs and two interesting single track descents. The nature of the Park surprises and gratifies pedaling. Very nice is the Eagle Trail that connects some tiny villages on the La Croce (782 m) and Ginguno (735 m) mountains.
