To ride in springtime, the route develops in the Gran Sasso and Laga Mountains Park.

Start off at Paladini, in the community of Crognaleto and follow the path beneath the state road which than leads back up past the tunnel.

Take the Paladini-Tottea road (closed to traffic) and ride uphill along a stretch of sandstone until you reach the suburb of Tottea.

Continue on the asphalted road leading from the suburb to the State road S.S. 80, better known as the “strada maestra del Parco”, the park's main road. Turn right at the intersection in Alvi in the direction of Aprati. Once past Aprati the gentle uphill road will take you past the intersection for Nerito  and back to Paladini.
