Exploring Trails

A route of medium difficulty for those who want to discover the area and the surroundings of the Estate. It starts from the Ciocco Bike Circle headquater and begins to climb along the paths of the Tenuta, enjoying the nature and the passage through the Ciocco woods. It then descends towards the village of Treppignana, which will be crossed by the bikers and then reconnect with the Tenuta at the Renaissance Hotel. From here the last 2 km uphill start to return to the stadium area.

A route of medium difficulty for those who want to discover the area and the surroundings of the Estate.  The tour follows the tracks of 'La via della Poesia', a cycle-pedestrian path of the Pro Loco di Barga. Giovanni Pascoli-our neighbour-loved the territory and the route crosses the places of the poet's memory, also mentioned in his writings.  Departing from the Ciocco Bike Circle offices, we descend to the skating rink where a dirt track begins, leading to Albiano, a small village near to the Estate. From here, it is possible to admire beautiful views of Barga, the destination of our tour. After a few kilometres on the asphalted road, we return to a dirt track in the locality of Capanelle, where we continue through the greenery to Piazza Pascoli in Barga. Here there are two options for our bikers: either return to the road and return to the base, or continue for a few more kilometres and reach Barga Vecchia and thus discover one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, perhaps even reaching the Duomo, the symbol of the village and a place loved by the people of Barga and by Pascoli himself.
