It will lead you discovering nature around the village of Drena, famous for its chestnuts (“I Marroni di Drena”).
Parking and Pre-Ride Exploration in Drena
Finding a parking spot in Drena is easy, with plenty of free options available in the village center. Before or after your ride, take some time to explore the charming streets and historic castle, which offers breathtaking views of the Sarca Valley.
A Foliage-Filled Family Ride
