Timeline
We start from Sarzana, not after having visited at least the Sarzanello Fortress, from which the city itself comes to life. We take the SS62 towards Caprigliola and then from Aulla where ours actually starts from itinerario which will almost entirely follow the state road 63 of the Valico del Cerreto.
The first kilometers traveled on the SS 63 see us flanking the Aulella stream up to the town of Rometta.
Once in Fivizzano we stop to admire the landscape of the Lunigiana valley and to visit the Stele di Verrucola statue and the menhir of the boulder of Nazio, evidence of the prehistoric origin of the locality.
From here the ascent to the Cerreto pass officially begins, a road of 19 kilometers with a variable slope between 8 and 8,7% that will take us to 1.261 meters of altitude making the Cerreto pass one of the highest. passivated of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.
The descent, always on the SS63, leads us to pass by Toscana in Emilia, and having passed the town of Collagna, we completely overcome the pass.
The next 60 kilometers reserve truly beautiful natural landscapes: from the Secchia river to the glimpse of the Po valley, visible from the village of Vezzano sul Crostolo. Finally we reach Rivalta and shortly after we continue on the SS63 which will take us to Reggio Emilia and a good plate of tortellini!
