Day 6: Castelraimondo – Ascoli Piceno

  • Distance: 139km
  • Elevation: 3350m
  • Key Climbs: Passo di Gualdo, Forca di Presta

The final day crosses the Sibilini mountains to finish in the Roman town of Ascoli Piceno, taking in the Passo di Gualdo and Forca di Presta en route. Much of this final stage will traverse the area affected by the earthquake of 1997. Riding into the Piano Grande, situated in the Monti Sibillini National Park, will be a beautiful finale to an incredible journey.

La Fuga guide:

You’ll notice a real change in the landscape today as we climb onto the Piano Grande (great plain) as the terrain becomes more barren and isolated. Descending back towards the Mediterranean coast and our finish point, the vineyards and olive groves return. Rolling into such an architecturally and culturally rich town as Ascoli is a very fitting end.
