Great gravel climb towards old watch tower

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Easygoing gradients and pretty smooth gravel guide you to the top of the hill, overlooking the valley and an old watch tower. Great places for wild camping at the viewpoint.

Sperone Alto - Sperone Tower

An abandoned few houses and tower, surrounded by flat land overlooking the valley below, offering a perfect place to camp out for the night.

A solitary and panoramic place in the Marsica, in 1915 it was hit by an earthquake. Along our route the Tower is visible from afar and can be reached comfortably by mountain bike leaving the main road.

Very challenging gravel climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

After going up and down a little, you'll most likely have to push your bike up for a bit. Rough and steep gravel make it pretty impossible to cycle this!
