Excursions by Mountain Bikeby Riccardo Burchianti Lacona - Monte Tambone - Lacona (hard) Arriving at Lacona near the games park, take the asphalted road for Marina di Campo. After circa 1km., passing over a bridge, turn left onto a dirt road that runs parallel to camping ground. Take the deviation to the right where a sandy road leads us on a slight descent.
Along the water-shed track that leads
to the summit of Monte Trambone we pass
a number of "caprili", old consructions
made with large stone plates used by shepherds
as shelter. From the summit, the gulf of Marina di Campo can be seen along with the islands of Pianosa and Corsica. Looking towards the south west one can see the gulf of Lacona and in a southeasterly direction, lies PortoAzzurro. Return to the original track that leads
to Marina di Campo.Here the track becomes
rather uneven so we advise riders to take
particular care. LO SCOGLIO … MTB School - This school organises mountain bike courses and excursions, immersed in the green Mediterranean bushland that offers suggestive marine paroramas. The school offers S.I.M.B. instructors that give lessons on the basic fuctions and mechanics of the bike.

The
cart track then continues up hill until
reaching a paroramic lookout point where
one can admire the gulf of Lacona and,
on a particularly clear day, the island
of Monte Cristo.
