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.

This alternative route is practically the same in all to route 9, with the only difference that the route passes from a high hill called "Il Poggione".
Although the climb to reach "Il Poggione" is short, it is extremely steep forcing us to push the bicycles, but once on top of this hill with a small group of trees in the center, we will be rewarded by one of the most beautiful views of the whole territory .
