The mtb trail on Mount Cusna starts from the base of the mountain, near the town of Fabbrico. From here, you start climbing along a dirt road that skirts the south side of the mountain, crossing beech and fir forests. The climb is challenging, with steep sections and some short technical sections that require good training and riding skills. The scenery before your eyes is breathtaking, with panoramic views of the plains and surrounding mountains. Once you reach the top of Mount Cusna, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the valley below and the surrounding mountains. There is also a hut here, where you can take a break to regain your strength and refresh yourself with sandwiches and drinks. The mtb trail then continues along the north side of the mountain, where more technical and fun sections are encountered, with jumps and tight turns that test riders' skills. The descent is very fast and engaging, with stretches of single track winding through the woods that require a good dose of agility and technique. Once at the bottom, you can return to base by following the same route up, or choose to continue the ride via the trails that branch off nearby.
