FROM MAY TO OCTOBER

A demanding mountain bike tour for expert bikers exploring the Upper Valsessera, the wildest and most uncontaminated part of Oasi Zegna, the nature park in Piemonte.

From Bocchetto Sessera the trail leads into the wild heart of Oasi Zegna through the woods of the Upper Valsessera. Some sections here are very demanding (bikes have to be shouldered), such as ponte Caramala and the downhill towards Piana del Ponte (thus named because of the old stone bridge still in a perfect state of conservation). There is an ideal place for rest and refreshment here, the picturesque Rifugio Piana del Ponte-Campeggio Verde.

The itinerary can be shortened by returning on the F14 road in the valley bottom, from Selletto Grosso, Alpe Caramala or farther on from Alpe Piana dei Lavaggi.
