100 LAGHI BIKE & TRAIL

And there you have the “Cento Laghi Bike” and the “100 Laghi TRAIL,” newly born cycle-hiking and Trail trails immersed in the Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano, Parco Regionale dei Cento Laghi and Area MAB Unesco, which are the 3 naturalistic realities of which our municipality is an integral part.
For the “Cento Laghi Bike“ this is a tourist/hiking cycle path conceived by the Municipality of Monchio delle Corti in synergy with the Province of Parma and with the participation of the Parchi del Ducato, the Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano and the Municipality of Corniglio, which aims to enhance the naturalistic heritage, beauty and goodness of the Parma Apennines and in particular of our wonderful Ridge.
The trail is mostly on forest roads and paths immersed in high altitude forests and only for a few kilometers on asphalt, with stretches promiscuous with ordinary roads.
These features together with the elevation gain of about eight hundred meters, make the “Cento Laghi Bike“ a route suitable for MTBs, pedal-assisted MTBs (e-Bikes) and even gravel but with experienced people.
Preferable for the less experienced and “fit” to use e-Bikes.
The track of about 25 kilometers, as the appropriate App, are downloadable on appropriate site.
Departure and arrival are set in Prato Spilla locality in the municipality of Monchio delle Corti and Lagdei locality in the municipality of Corniglio, with the possibility to ride in both directions.
Along the route it will be possible to carry out tastings of typical products of the valley, just inside the refuges and in the restaurants of the crossed localities.
In the same places it will be possible to stay overnight in order to organize the return trip also the following day with the possibility of alternatively walking the ridge trail called “100 Laghi Trail,” with views of the main lakes of glacial origin, exclusive to this area of the Parma Apennines.
The lakes crossed directly or otherwise visible by taking the 2 trails are n.14, some of them located immediately behind the ridge within the ancient glacial cirques that morphologically represent our entire territory.
It is not only a tourist and territorial development trail, but also a “life trail” that wants to bring the hiker to experience the beauty, peace and tranquility of our territories so that everyone can enjoy what mother nature has given us. Appropriate maps and Gpx tracks of the 2 trails (100 Laghi Bike and Trail) are available. We are here waiting for you.
