A challenging tour that will give you unique emotions, among high mountain landscapes and along spectacular trails!
We start from Campodolcino (altitude 1080 m) climbing up to Isola and from here, entering the village, we will begin the first of the two climbs of the day, a 10 km climb with significant gradients (reaching 20%) to reach an altitude of 2070 m.
We will then descend to Borghetto on a gravel road and then continue on a natural trail, at times technical, where there will certainly some great fun!
Once we reach the bottom, we descend along a gravel road in Val Febbraro before starting the second climb of the day, 8 km of which the first three are on a mixed asphalt and dirt road, while the remaining five are on a wide trail but with loose surfaces at times, where our resistance will be tested!
Having reached Pian dei Cavalli, a vast green ridge used as pasture which features prehistoric sites (the area was used 10,000 years ago by nomadic tribes of hunters who populated the Alps), we will continue to go up the path until we reach the beautiful Lago Bianco (White Lake).
A ritual photo that is a must, with a frame of majestic peaks as a background, and we start downhill again, retracing a part of the trail that we had taken uphill.
Once we reach a crossroads, we will keep right towards San Sisto, initially riding along a rather wide path and then immersing ourselves in a decidedly more technical trail, in a dense forest.
Finally, no one can take away a nice lunch in a typical mountain refuge!
We set off again towards Campodolcino and, passing through Starleggia, we will come across a fantastic new trail built in summer 2024 with technical sections on rock alternating with steep sections but with a beautiful needle-leaf surface, guaranteed fun to end the day in the best way!
