FROM MAY TO OCTOBER

 

A demanding mountain bike itinerary delving into Oasi Zegna, the nature park in Piemonte. Recommended for experts only. Possible start points: Stavello, Bielmonte, Bocchetto Sessera.

The route forms a crest trail touching on places of historical interest. It skirts Monte Rubello, where Fra Dolcino, the heresiarch mentioned in Dante’s Divine Comedy, sought refuge, while in Alta Valsessera there are old mining sites at Rondolere and Argentera (17th and 18th centuries).

This itinerary – extremely impressive with Monte Rosa in the background – has a number of exposed sections at Argentera and between Alpe Moncerchio and Bocchetto Luvera.

There are also sections where bikes must be shouldered. This is not suitable for young children or cyclists who haven’t mastered off-road skills.
