Weekend in the Euganean Hills 100% e-MTB

We meet at the hotel to set out to discover the Euganean Hills. After a brief warm-up on asphalt, we tackle the first hills, plunging into wooded paths on volcanic soil mixed with roots and stones. The route takes us to Monte Rua, known for the Hermitage of the Camaldolese friars on the summit, alternating between flowing and more technical stretches. After an exciting descent to the plains, we head towards the challenge of the day: Monte Grande, with its impressive weather radar. After a short rest and water refreshment, we descend towards Teolo, circumvent the Rocca Pendice wall and tackle the final ascent towards Venda, where we explore the ruins of an ancient monastery. A beautiful trail finally takes us back to the hotel for some well-deserved relaxation. The evening concludes by deciding together on the program for dinner. 45 km / 1300 D+

With the emotions of the first day still fresh in our minds, we set off loaded for a new day in the saddle on our MTBs. Today's route, although shorter and with less elevation gain, promises not to disappoint. After a stretch on the flat and a stop at the Portale di Diana in the gardens of Villa Barbarigo, we enter the woods in the direction of the medieval village of Arquà Petrarca. After a short visit, we descend towards Monte Cecilia, a paradise for MTB enthusiasts. We then continue towards Este, climbing up to the small panoramic village above the town. After a break and refueling, we embark on one of the most enjoyable descents in the area, heading towards Villa Beatrice d'Este. Here, we enjoy spectacular views before riding along the white road of Monte Fasolo, adorned with flowering almond trees in spring, and tackling the final thrilling descent that will take us back to Galzignano. 38 km / 1000 D+
