You push off from Fabriano on an e‑MTB and the town’s stone streets give way to singletrack along the Giano and Sentino rivers.
By late afternoon the forest closes in: beeches and oaks crowd a narrow valley and the guide points out an abandoned borgo where moss eats the mortar. That evening the camp is already set — a cluster of suspended tree tents strung between trunks above the forest floor, NOMAD basecamp offering a simple but secure platform for sleeping among the branches.
This route runs through the Gola della Rossa and Frasassi Natural Park, a karst landscape carved by limestone and time. The region’s caves and cliffs shaped local life for centuries; abbeys like San Vittore delle Chiuse and cliff‑built sanctuaries such as the Tempio del Valadier trace medieval pilgrimage and rural craft traditions.
Expect mixed terrain: singletrack, short rocky climbs, and gravel descents through rolling Apennine foothills. Wildlife includes raptors and foxes; spring brings wildflowers and louder streams, summer offers warm days and cool nights in the canopy.
Practical edge: the multi‑day program combines guided e‑MTB sections with short on‑foot approaches (some uphill walks to cave sanctuaries). Guides handle camp setup and luggage transfer; participants should be comfortable riding on varied surfaces, self‑sufficient with layered clothing, and prepared for basic rustic facilities. Hydrate on rides, test the e‑bike before setting off, and reserve evenings for slow exploration of the caves and village ruins.

Tree tents are suspended individual or two‑person platforms with basic sleeping pads; expect rustic conditions and shared facilities.
Dinner and breakfast with local products are included; guides typically provide an aperitivo and regional dishes at camp.
The park’s karst features have shaped settlement and spiritual life for centuries; abbeys like San Vittore date back to the 11th century and reflect monastic routes through the Apennines.
Activities operate with an ecological focus and luggage transfer to limit ground disturbance; follow Leave No Trace and respect breeding seasons for nesting birds.
