Cycling Through the Vallesanta
ToursIn the footsteps of pilgrims, where silence becomes prayer
A natural corridor in the heart of the National Park connecting the Camaldoli Forest to the Sanctuary of La Verna. You’ll cycle along low-traffic paved roads, where the silence is broken only by the sounds of nature. You’ll traverse the Vallesanta, a landscape nestled between stone villages and ancient forests, following in the footsteps of pilgrims. The destination is the “crudo sasso” of St. Francis, a place of absolute peace nestled in the rock, where the beauty of creation blends with the deepest spirituality.
