Tour del Monte Fallere (2 giorni)
2-day tour with overnight stop at Chaligne refuge and on the following day passage to Mont Fallere refuge. The trail starts from Vens, the first ten km or so is pedalable on dirt roads and mild inclines. Then bike on your back for a couple of scarce km and 400 meters of elevation gain until you reach the Citrin pass (2482 meters). From here you go down the trail that starts with nice views and nothing difficult, be careful to follow the trail since sometimes it is not always easy to spot. Then it enters the woods and becomes a bit more technical but nice and fun until you reach Entroubles.
Past Entroubles you pedal in the valley for a little bit and then climb, quite steeply in places, to the Chaligne hut. From the refuge you then continue uphill again and from here spectacular views and balconies begin for the rest of the route, again for the first few kilometers pleasant and rideable, then a small section with bike on your back until almost to Punta Chaligne.
From here a bit of up and down until you reach the Mont Fallere refuge, from where a nice descent begins in the first part sloping but fun to then become a pleasant traverse. The return to Vens is first on a dirt road and then on a very nice forest trail in the shade of trees.
- The complete tour is 60.97 km for 2888 meters of elevation gain.
- The first day is 1741 meters + of which 400 are by bike to reach Col Citrin.
- The second day there are shoulder bike bits here and there for a total of 300 meters of elevation gain.
