Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Chapel of Our Lady of the Snow
Highlight • Religious Site
The Madonnina was built at his own expense by a great lover of our mountains, a small entrepreneur in the earthmoving and asphalt sector, the late Mario Tracanna from Roccamontepiano
It must also be said that Mario Tracanna, after having obtained all the authorizations, starting from those who would detain its custody, unfortunately died in 2017 in a terrible accident on the ski slopes.
Since then and after its inauguration with a blessing and consecration, it has also become the shrine of all mountain lovers who have lost their lives here.
A place of devotion and spirituality where every year, Mario's friends celebrate an outdoor mass with a short hike on foot, from the Rifugio Pomilio to the Madonnina.
If you are a true cyclist you have to reach the Madonnina... there is also a breathtaking view from above.

Monte Blockhaus
Highlight • Summit
The name was coined by the Austrian military referring to a stone fort located on top of the mountain built for defensive purposes.
The debut of the Blockhaus at the Giro d'Italia took place on 31 May 1967, on that occasion the stage was won by a very young Eddy Merckx
