DISCOVERING PARMA APENNINES
The race cruises through the famous food valley of Italy, starting from the Nature Park of Boschi di Carrega. It crosses the Nature Park in its entirety, pedaling across its thick vegetation composed mainly of beech and chestnut trees. Then the course continues through the urban section of the municipalities of Sala Baganza and Felino before returning to the rural landscape; the road has continuous ups and downs from where riders can admire the picturesque hills, the local crops and the magnificent Castle of Torrechiara. The race also reaches the town of Langhirano before facing the last climb that leads to the Pieve dell’Assunzione di Maria Vergine in the hamlet of Castrignano.
