The 5 colors of Berici Climbs

"Hello, simply Hello
It's difficult to find very serious words
I'll try to draw
Like a painter
I'll make sure
To get straight to the heart
With the power of color
Look without speaking

Blue like you
Like the sky and the sea
And yellow like sunlight
Red like the things you do to me
Try

Hello, simply Hello
I draw the grass as green as hope
And like still unripe fruit
And now some blue
Like the night
White like its stars
With yellow shades
And you can only breathe the air

Blue like you
Like the sky and the sea
And yellow like sunlight
Red like the things you do to me
Try

For storms, I have no color
With what's left, I draw a flower
Now that it's summer, now that it's love

Blue like you
Like the sky and the sea
And yellow like sunlight
Red like the things you do to me
Try"

Like a painter... Berici Climbs is a palette of colours, or rather of 5 fundamental and distinctive colours, symbols of the largest cycling park in Italy.

Let's see one by one and what they symbolize:

Green

It is the color of the lush and luxuriant nature of the Berici Hills, the spring-summer green of the deciduous forests of oaks, ashes, chestnuts and hornbeams often gives way to clearings of emerald green meadows. On the Berici Hills you can practice "forest bathing" by immersing yourself in relaxing and invigorating natural scenarios that pamper your soul, mind and heart. Green indicates climbs and easy itineraries also suitable for beginners.

Climbs: These are rideable climbs, with an average gradient of 3-5%, and a maximum gradient of 8-9% in some sections. They are short and do not present any particular pavement issues.

Itineraries: These are mostly flat routes, ranging in length from 30 minutes to 2 hours, with a maximum elevation gain of 200 meters. Suitable for beginner cyclists and families.

Light blue

It is the color of the sky of the Hills, often free from mists and mists, a palette of variations of light blue and blue depending on the season and the time of day. The large body of water of Lake Fimon and the many signs are blue, splendid crossroads of the many locations of the Berici Climbs Park.
Blue indicates climbs and medium-easy itineraries suitable for those who already have a minimum amount of experience with the bicycle and have some training.

Climbs: These climbs are rideable but begin to require a fair amount of fitness. The average gradient is between 3 and 5%, with the maximum gradient typically reaching 12-13% in some medium-length sections. The length is moderate, and there are no particular critical road conditions.

Itineraries: These are not flat itineraries, they last from 1 hour to 4 hours, the overall differences in altitude vary from 250 m to 600 m.

Yellow

The color of the sun that nourishes and warms the Berici Climbs Park every day, gives life to bright yellow spring blooms such as rapeseed and dandelion, and its variations towards dark yellow and gold with the summer expanses of the fields of sunflowers and ears of ripe wheat.
Yellow indicates difficult climbs and itineraries, suitable for cyclists with experience and average preparation.

Climbs: These are moderately challenging climbs that require effort on several sections. The average gradient is between 5 and 6%, with the maximum gradient typically reaching 13-15% for medium-length sections. The length can be considerable, but there are no particular critical issues with the pavement, although there may be sections of cobblestone or concrete.

Itineraries: These are not flat itineraries, they last from 3 hours to 3 hours and 30 minutes, the overall differences in altitude vary from 1100 m to 1500 m.

Red

The color of passion is found in the summer expanses of the poppy fields and in the magical suggestions of the autumn foliage that paints the woods of the Berici Climbs Park in incredible variations of red. Red indicates difficult climbs and itineraries suitable for expert, trained cyclists who are not afraid of tackling challenging slopes and distances.

Climbs: These are challenging climbs that require a lot of effort throughout their entire length. The average gradient is between 6 and 7%, with the maximum gradient typically reaching 15-17% in medium-length sections. The length can be significant, and there may be issues with the road surface, such as concrete or dirt sections.

Itineraries: These are not flat itineraries, they last around 4 hours up to 4 hours and 30 minutes, the overall differences in altitude vary from 1600 m to 2000 m.

Black

It is the color of the evening, of the darkest night which with its cloak of stars covers the rolling hills of the Berici Climbs Park, guarding its secrets and freeing the life of nocturnal fauna. The silences of the night, of the forests and fields... are broken only by the summer song of crickets, the sound of nocturnal birds of prey and the trampling of roe deer, wild boars and other small wild animals.
Black indicates very difficult climbs and itineraries, suitable for expert cyclists who have reached an excellent level of training.

Climbs: These are very challenging climbs that require maximum effort throughout their entire length. The average gradient is between 8 and 11%, with the maximum gradient typically reaching 20-24% in medium-length sections. The length can be significant, and there may be issues with the road surface, such as concrete or dirt sections.

Itineraries: These are very difficult itineraries, lasting between 4 hours and over 6 hours, with overall elevation gains ranging from 2000 m to 3100 m.
