More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning air tastes of limestone and wet earth as you push off from Fabriano and follow lanes that slowly unwind into chestnut woods and abandoned stone houses. The ride threads through country tarmac, gravel farm tracks and punchy forest climbs; occasionally the trees part to reveal the steep, pale cliffs above the Frasassi gorge. The route moves at your pace—guides tailor the line so beginners find gentle climbs while experienced riders can take longer, steeper loops.
