Description of the MTB crossing routes

Day 1

Starting from Marina di Campo, after a 3 Km flat trail we start to climb Literno Valley along an old military road.

By San Martino hill we leave the main road to take a technical single trek that takes us onto the crest of Elba central ridge.

An extraordinary path traced within a fire line brings us up to a windmill while overlooking the sea on both sides.

Back onto an unsurfaced road after leaving behind us Colle Reciso, we climb up the summit of Mount Orello along panoramic paths alternated to stretches among a pine forest.

After coming across numerous bunkers dating back to the last World War, we start a spectacular descent towards Casa Marchetti, then go consequently up the Buraccio valley until Mount Castello where you get to enjoy one of Elba most beautiful views.

Along paths with a great scenic panorama, we descent in the direction of Porto Azzurro town, to then reach Mount Calamita’s peak, here we will travel far and wide this peninsula, setting of many competitive events including a World Cup leg.

On the way back to Marina di Campo,  we are to cross Capo Stella scented paths then ride up the dirt track that from Laconella beach will take us to cross over Mount Fonza and its 300 meters height, then finally descending again towards Marina di Campo along a downhill track enterely overlooking the sea.

Day 2

Leaving Marina di Campo from Vigne Giunche we follow all the way up to Mount Castello at 226 m.a.s.l.; then by Colle Reciso, we will cycle about 6 kilometers on a pretty much completely flat road, and after, go up to the village of Poggio at 330 meters above sea level.

After a short paved stretch that leads us up to the 410 mt. of Marciana village, we take a forest trail among the valley of Pedalta to San Cerbone Hermitage at 531 m.a.s.l.

From here, a steep descent will lead us back to the village of Poggio, a true thrill for speed enthusiasts! Hence we cycle up on tarmac to Mount Perone, where a trail at times rather technical but overall magnificent is going to take us back to Marina di Campo town center after a long 15 Km descent.
