The Ronda Ghibellina

Trail Running

All the ridges of the Chio valley will be walked, as a kind of roundabout for this ancient county.
The runners will be able to touch all the most extreme points of the Ghibelline municipality and even enemy lands; trespassing on the Aretine lands of the belligerent Tarlati and the Cortonese lands of the noble Salimbeni.

Dog Trail Ronda Ghibellina & Ronda6paws

Dog Trail

Dog Trail involves good chemistry between the dog and its handler, leading to the perfect harmony of this pair.
It is an endurance competition on trails typically used for hiking in nature, hills or mountains; this discipline is open to all dogs, with or without pedigree.
But always remember…. will be the handler who has to adapt to the dog’s pace.

Trekking

wandering around, contemplating nature, trusting yourself and unleashing your fighting spirit. Trekking in Castiglion Fiorentino is a perfect blend of the focus of a walk and the energy of a fight. To feel at one with the Middle Ages.

Corone Ghibelline

Biking

How can we miss the opportunity to ride on our bicycles the paths under the foliage whizzing by? What once were the hooves worn by riders, today are the tires worn by bikers.

In this instance there is no competition but we are still talking about an experience to test one’s skills.

Anello Ghibellino

Youth

Natural and man-made obstacles, loop trails, orientation and adaptation challenges-everything needed for an unforgettable experience even for young riders who want to start trying their hand at great ventures. Choosing between Orienteering and Ghibelline Obstacle Ring is not easy: either way, excitement is guaranteed.

Le due Rocche

Camminata culturale ( Cultural walk )

Discovering local evidence, its ancient origins; Etruscan and Roman at first, medieval later.
Castles, fortified walls, watchtowers and old temples; they will tell their thousand-year history of wars and strategic alliances.

"The journey of the bad calves...
wet from ignorant sweats...
is finally here.
Marching dusty paths...
Crossing ancient lands...
those of the growling creatures."
