Hiking involves every year thousands of persons who love going along the many trails of Mt. Cucco and its surroundings. It is without a doubt the most practiced sport. At the moment, it represents the main tourist resource of the Park, also because it is favored by a thick network of marked trails (over 120 km), by the map “Carta dei Sentieri del Parco del Monte Cucco e zone limitrofe” published by Monte Meru, and by refreshment points in the mountains like Val di Ranco, Pian delle Macinare, Valico di Fossato di Vico.
The trail markers have been recently restored, completed, and updated, and the trails have been cleaned up. Moreover, along the Park watershed, from Corno di Catria to Valico di Fossato di Vico, we wukk find both "Sentiero Italia", going along the whole Apennine ridge from Liguria to Calabria, and the Trail E 1 (Europe 1, from Scandinavia to Calabria), marked by FIE and printed on all the local Kompass maps.
Cycle holidays involve touring an area by bicycle, or combining cycling with train travel. A tour can also be booked through an agency, offering logistic support and baggage transportation.
