PRECAUTIONS FOR
YOUR SAFETY
9. Your participation in
the Brevetto di Monte Nerone
is the exclusive responsibility
of each participant, including
your knowledge and respect for
The Rules of the Road. You are
obligated to wear a cycling
helmet. All itinerary roads are
open to vehicular traffic all
year long. It is recommended to
practice the maximum caution
on the descents, especially with
regard to the wind and in cases
where it might rain. You may
have weather conditions on
Nerone that change rapidly and
can vary in each case. There
may be times when you may be
ill-advised to ascend from bad
weather in the valley.
In each case, the decision as to
whether to ascent Monte
Nerone depends upon each
cyclist and remains his or her
exclusive responsibility.
DESCRIPTION OF THE
ASCENTS
1. Apecchio (Pian di
Molino)/Monte Nerone: 1,500
m.s.m.; km = 16, elevation at
start = 420 msm; elevation
increase during ride = 1,080

m.; average slope 7% to max.
10%.
Characteristics – Wide
roadway at bottom for a good
stretch (until Pian di Trebbio)
that will help you with the
second stretch where the road
gets rougher (8.5 km. At
8.33%).
For your security, pay attention
to motor traffic, the wind and
meadow animals. It is
recommended that when
descending you use the slope
side of the mountain (cutoff
toward mountain) to achieve
Piobbico.
2. Piobbio/Monte
Nerone: 1,500 msm; km =
13.7; elevation at start = 320
slm; elevation increase during
ride = 1,180 m.; average slope
8.76% to max. 12%.
Characteristics – This is the
25th ascent from Italy, and is
constant between 7 and 10%
with ample and good roads
where your breathing can
recover. At Acquanera, the
road narrows and is sometimes
in ruins, until the crossroad
Rifugio Corsini. Ascend from
the small fountains or points of
relief. In this part the road coils
66
into the woods, with winding
and long straights and then the
ride becomes rough and brutal
and traffic is almost
nonexistent.
For your security, pay attention
to holes, frogs, stones, pebbles
and rocks on the roadway.
3. Pianello/Monte
Nerone: 1,500 msm; elevation
increase during ride = 1,100
m.; average slope 7.5% to max.
11%.
Characteristics: narrow road,
very panoramic, exposed to sun
and wind, with 20 turns that
leave the area of Cerreto,
native to a number of
diminishing 1 until the
Montagnola pass at 1,400 m,
from which you can enjoy
beautiful vistas from Gola del
Furlo. The green of the fields,
the sinuous urns, the cows in
pasture make the ride on this
side of the mountain a magical
alpine ascent.
For your security, be careful of
the wind, the meadow animals
as they can always be crossing
any stretch of the road.
