 Route
1 |
 |
| From
Orsigna to the source of Gabelletta |
| This 15-kilometer route is of medium difficulty on footpaths
and mule-tracks. From the town of Orsigna go along the asphalt
road for a short stretch and then take the old mule track, which
climbs rather steeply to Case Moretto and on to Case Aldria.
This curves to the left near the dirt track to Paoluccio and
then evens out until the source of Gabeletta. Chestnut and beech
trees and coniferous woods shade the whole way. |

 Route
2 |
|
| Towards
the mountain pass of Termine |
From Case Paoluccio continue east along the dirt track, which
climbs slightly. In less than 30 minutes this takes you to a
fork that climbs more steeply to the mountain pass. The ridge
was the boundary between the lands of the Papal State and of
the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
It is advisable to bring your own water.

|
| Bicycle
circuit of Orsigna |
This 33-km circuit is fairly difficult due to its steepness,
and should be covered almost entirely by mountain bike. From
the village of Orsigna, go to Case Corrieri and take the dirt
track, which climbs to the shelter of Porta Franca (the last
stretch to be covered on foot). From the shelter, go up steeply
on the Apennine ridge and then slope down a track to Casetta
Pulledrari. After a few km on asphalt road, take an easy dirt
track, which cuts across the Southern side of Punta della Crina
and goes down to the asphalt road for Pracchia and then reaches
Orsigna.
It is highly advisable to wear a helmet and bring a water bottle
