We are in Calabria, in the Sila National Park, which is the setting for a fantastic itinerary for mountain bikers.
The route is that of the Sila Epic MTB Marathon 2018, in its easiest variant to tackle: the Short route, which is a candidate to be a real mini tour of Sila.

Just as for the other two routes (Epic and Classic), we start from Camigliatello Silano, at an elevation of 1300 m, and continue on asphalt for an initial stretch in the direction of the ski slopes lifts and then on a dirt road toward Mount Curcio, almost to its summit.

Although concentrated in just a few kilometers, the route manages to bring fans to experience all the best of mountain biking and the spectacular nature of the places visited: challenging climbs, fun descents, and breathtaking views.
