Regional Park, “Gola della Rossa e di Frasassi” (gorge of Rossa and Frasassi)
In this tour you are in a territory characterized by a luxuriant and flourishing nature that present magic scenery, woods and waterways.
The Regional Park “Gola della Rossa e di Frasassi” is the green heart of Marche Region.
It was established on September 1997 (L.R. n. 57 of 02.09.1997) and with its 10.026 hectares it’s the biggest protected regional area.
The Park is a natural oasis perfect for hiking in its many paths, admiring the richness of the typical flora and fauna of the pre-Apennine environment.
You can’t lost the wonders of picturesque Gorge of Frasassi, excavated by the erosive waters of the river Sentino, which for millennia shaped these places, creating rocky cliffs and creating an underground system of unequalled magnificence: the Frasassi caves.
The cultural offer of the Park is very relevant: castles, churches and abbeys as well as historic towns.
Among the most important destinations of the route there are the towns of Arcevia and Serra San Quirico, the Sanctuary of Frasassi, the Hermitage of Acquarella, the abbeys of St. Helena, San Vittore delle Chiuse and San Salvatore in Valdicastro, the castles of Genga, Pierosara, Avacelli and Castelletta.

How choose tour and the correct bike for it?
The premise is: haven’t got the appropriate bike shouldn’t be a reason to give up. There is always a solution!
Anyway, the difference between “street bike” or “off” always remains. Therefore, in order to facilitate understanding what is the best bike for every tour, we can identify bike in the following categories:
MOUNTAIN BIKE: these bikes prefer roads and paths. They have knobby shells, gearbox with short reports to tackle even the toughest climbs, suspension and hydraulic disc brakes;
ROAD BIKES: they are projected for speed with compact geometries that make them extremely responsive to each push on the pedals. They also have thin tires and foster roads on asphalt;
GRAVEL: they are a compromise that combine some features and advantages of racing bike and mountain bikes. The tires are wider than road bikes and with tessellation, so they are good for unpaved and paved roads;
E-BIKE: it’s a good bike for everyone, but particularly appropriate to those who haven’t got a specific training. They are right for any type of road surface, but better for roads and paths.
