Monte Tondo

From the Lamastrone Oasis we pedal in the direction of Ponteccio through a beautiful dirt road that alternates uphill and downhill stretches. After a passage between the houses of Ponteccio we take the forest road that leads up to the Monte Tondo refuge where, after a challenging uphill section, we continue along the path (Cai 86) until we reach the junction for the summit route, which we reach in about ten minutes by bike on the shoulder. There is an excellent view from the summit but today unfortunately the fog is the master and denies us such pleasure. The descent partly freeride and partly on unmarked trail leads us on the abandoned path, we continue in the direction of the Cavorsella pass passing under

a summit of Scalocchi and Mount Ischia, but first we have to deal with a section where it is necessary to do a bike pass (Gatto pass).

We continue following trail 00 immersed in blueberries and face a very enjoyable downhill section. When we reach the Pradarena pass we take the path to Fonte Gelata and then trail number 1 that leads to the starting point.
