A cool morning air climbs off the plateau as riders mount e-bikes in Fiuggi and point toward the Arcinazzo Plateaus. The route lifts you up to the Sella pass (about 931 m) and opens into broad, wind-brushed plateaus that push your pace and widen your view. Vineyards of Cesanese red fold into the valley below, and the old railway grade — now a forgiving cycle path — guides the descent toward Piglio and the hilltowns of the region.
