Km

indicates the total length of the route from the starting to the arrival point.

Duration

indicates the time needed to complete the route considered an average (in motion) of about 10 km per hour for the mtb routes and 20 km per hour for the road bicycle routes, as well as a tolerance depending on the type of the path.

Elevation gain uphill

this is not the difference between the highest and lowest points reached during the journey, but the elevation gain uphill.
This is the sum of all altitude differences from the point of departure to the point of arrival. In other words, the greater the elevation gain uphill in height and the greater the number of climbs that must be faced, then the path will be harder.

Difficulty

Difficulty is always a very subjective parameter. We tried to give an assessment that considers a level of intermediate training and a good propensity to ride on dirt roads or long climbs sometimes challenging.

% Asfalto / Gravel

indicates, referring to the different locations of the territory of Montaione, the area where the route is located.

Area

indicates, referring to the different locations of the territory of Montaione, the area where the route is located.

The path's graph, indicates the highest and lowest points reached during the itinerary, in addition to the mileage (in km), the various locations touched and where there is the possibility of obtaining water. In the latter case, Montaione Mtb Trail Area relieves itself of any responsibility in case of lack of water supply.

The first section of this path (from Iano to San Vivaldo and then Via Ecce Homo) is the same as for route 4 with the difference that shortly after the location "Marrado" and before arriving at "San Leonardo" we turn right onto the path that will take us in the nearby of "Pian delle Querce". From here, we return to Iano going down for a fun and fast single trail.

The territory

Why you should come to Montaione to do mountain biking

Saying that Montaione is located in the heart of Tuscany - one of the most beautiful regions of Italy - less than an hour's drive from the most famous cities of art like Florence, Siena, Lucca, Pisa and San Gimignano, surrounded by spectacular landscape and immersed in an uncontaminated territory would be reductive even if these are certainly the most important reasons to spend a holiday even if you are not doing sports.
