Monte Arsenti Freeride
Description
From the former Massa Marittima train station in the hamlet of Ghirlanda, ride north along the main road for a short distance. In a bend to the right, turn left onto a short, steep cart track and reach the pleasantly ascending gravel road towards Monte Arsenti at the Pian dei Mucini resort. Following the forest road, you reach the hut of the local trail builders, the "Trail Brothers Massa Marittima". Continue uphill, first along a road and then along a good trail. Once you reach the highest point of Monte Arsenti, it is worth going to the viewpoint a few meters to the right. The view stretches as far as the sea and, on a clear day, the island of Elba. You can also take a look at the final descent of the tour, the Cicalino Freeride.
The Insoglio trail, which is easy to ride, leads over 250 Elevation loss to the north side of Monte Arsenti. You return to the highest point via a well-maintained gravel road, although you can switch to parallel trails in the upper section. Once you reach the summit, follow the signposts to the Benedetto Trail. The flowing trail, which is integrated into the terrain, rides eastwards and then through a valley in a wide arc to the southern ascent. Via gravel roads and the Spaghetti-Uphill Trail, you reach the "Trail Brothers" hut again and the highest point of Monte Arsenti via the familiar path.
Turn right and reach the start of the Cicalino Freeride Trail, which is peppered with numerous berms and jumps and allows for a playful riding style. Less experienced riders have the option of choosing easier lines or rolling over jumps. After a 350-metre descent, the trail ends at a small riding technique course above the Cicalino vacation resort. You reach the short but steep ascent via side roads with the bridge over the main road and shortly afterwards branch off onto the old railroad line to Ghirlanda. The starting point is reached after a few kilometers.
Tip: The tour can easily be ridden as a shuttle tour, with only a few meters in altitude remaining to the highest point of Monte Arsenti, which can be conquered under your own steam.

Brilliant trail mountain! Fun, varied, well maintained and beautiful in the forest. The trails can be combined individually (ideally 1x north + 1x south side, for variety on the uphill).
