Project Description
Warning!
Ridemontaione.com invites you to discover the trails of Montaione accompanied by a local expert guide, a service that you can book by staying at our bike friendly farmhouse Belmonte Vacanze.
Thanks to our local expert guides you can enjoy a cycling adventure in complete safety and without any risk.
The trails described on the site may become impassable due to vegetation or soil erosion, therefore we invite you
not to venture alone on the trails of Montaione without an expert guide.
We invite you not to trust GPS tracks that you can find on the web.
Riding a bicycle in an area that you do not know and on trails that you have never ridden by trusting a GPS track is dangerous.
Ridemontaione is not responsible for accidents that may occur while following the suggested routes.
From Via “Ecce homo” near a curve to the left, you will enter a clearing on the right side of the road where you will find a bar lowered. Go through it and throw yourself down to the alternative route “La Cava”. The first section – about 100 meters – of the road is paved, then it becomes gravelly and enters the woods.
Continue for another 200 meters of gravel ground inside the forest until you reach a junction where there is an abandoned cistern. Here, take the path on the right going up a steep descent always on the gravelly ground.
After another 100 m you will come to a bar that closes the path. After crossing the bar you will continue for another 100 meters uphill on a sandy ground until you come to a quarry of stones that you will see on the right.
Continue on the path to the left of the gate of the quarry along a row of cypress trees. The road narrows on gravelly ground and after a few hundred meters you will meet the first houses and a large cypress tree on the left of the track. Shortly after you will reach the village of Iano and you will get onto the paved road near the Church of San Andrea in Alliano.
