Monte Sette Termini/972 m

Nice ride through the birches that conquered the summit

 

Mount Sette Termini (Seven Boundary Stones, from the seven ancient stones that divide its slopes) is a soft and woody hill, but in spite of its small size  it offers some interesting landscapes. The high concentration of military tracks and fire roads turns it into fertile ground for MTBikers, but the absolute lack of signs turns it into a labyrinth where, if you yield to the temptation of exploring one of the countless minor trails that you'll cross, you'll inevitably end up getting lost.

 

This tour suggests the climb to Mount Sette Termini on a small and quiet paved road, while the descent follows the path, partly smooth and partly rough, that crosses the thick pinewood on the northern side of the mount. On the way back we'll also visit Mount la Nave and San Paolo, a beautiful lonesome church that offers a very nice view over Lake Ceresio.
