The MTB route is very emotional.
Reaching the summit of Mount Strega at an elevation of 1,278 m is very satisfying, both physically and visually, especially in the last fifty meters when, with the bike on your back, you reach the large metal cross erected in 1928 by the inhabitants of the neighboring hamlets.
Descending, a moonscape of rock and green meadows opens up.

Technical tips:
Along the way it is possible to refuel with water at springs, farmhouses or hamlets. There is also a bar, restaurant in Montelago locality. 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 the bike with you. With, or following rain, it is possible to encounter stretches with mud.
Since you will travel about 5 km at an altitude of 900 to 1200 meters, it is good to have a windproof jacket with you even in summer. For the same reason, it is possible in early spring or early fall to find the last or first snows.
It is recommended to go out in groups, to do the route in suitable weather conditions and not in the evening hours, and to pay attention to grazing animals.
