In the first 5 km of the initial stretch of the route, the most challenging points are concentrated, it is in fact a continuous succession of ups and downs.

They are little traveled and therefore perfect for cycling. The terrain is consistently hilly, but the climbs are mostly moderate. Postcard views of the classic cultural landscape are guaranteed.
