Cross Country – from Bevagna to Gualdo Cattaneo

Back to the exploration

Cross Country – from Bevagna to Gualdo Cattaneo

Spectacular landscapes only for the best cycle-trained legs

If you love mountain biking and you’re looking for a place to test your mettle but want stunning landscape too, this is the route for you.

The altitude gain is around 1000 metres on a short route of about 35 km, with continuous up and downhill rides between the base of the Monti Martani, until you start to go up a part of the mountain. You’ll start in Bevagna, go as far as Gualdo Cattaneo and then come back, on dirt roads in the countryside, passing through hamlets and villages.

This will be a challenge you take upon yourself as well as hard work. Our guide on this journey will put you to the test a bit and make sure you don’t miss out on the best views these mountains can offer. Your goal and your reward will coincide: the magnificent view of Gualdo Cattaneo will make you forget your tired legs and the hard slog, and you’ll soon feel ready for the return trip. The greenery that surrounds you will also lighten your load, and you’ll feel you can climb like a true mountain goat!
