The "Vidritta" is a sensational portion of dirt road about two kilometers long, included in the famous Strade Bianche race.
The route is straight, as the name suggests, all very slightly downhill and with a surface in good condition.

The route through the nature reserve is not recommended for gravel bikes. It's very steep in places, the path is very rough, and it's very lonely.
