The route explores the eastern and southern slopes of the Monte Nerone massif.

MTB02 S. Angelo in Maiano – S. Giovanni in Offage

/ MTB-Gravel

The route explores a portion of the territory northeast of Cagli, between the Via Flaminia and the Cagli-Pergola provincial road, characterized by hills, small alluvial plains, and sunken ditches. The route follows quiet dirt roads without any particular difficulty, offering spectacular views of fields, groves, and the main peaks of the Apennine ridge stretching from Monte Nerone to Monte Catria.

The climbs and descents are moderate and regular, and the terrain is never particularly rough, making it suitable for both mountain bikes and gravel bikes. There isn't much shade, so in summer, it's advisable to ride during the less sunny and hot hours.

WLK03 Coldorso – Montevecchio – Montajate

/ Walks

This walk is long, but not demanding, with only a few moderate climbs. It develops in a little-known and little-frequented area, full of small villages and isolated houses. Montevecchio and Montajate are the two main points of interest, which will not disappoint you. But what excites are the views that open in every direction, including, above all, those that show the long ridge that from Monte Nerone, passing through Monte Petrano and Monte Catria, reaches up to Monte della Strega.
