Piz Olda
A spectacular ride for the high mountain environment and the small roads in the middle of pine forests that you will ride and not to mention the 6km of wonderful single track prepared especially for MTBs!!!
A very short but really satisfying ride: Distance: 15km - time on the move: 1.50hours - total elevation gain: 860m - maximum elevation: 1980m - cycleability: 100% - suitable for MTB XC/AM and Enduro.
Leaving the car in Cevo, a high mountain tourist village, we climb for about 9km and 800m elevation gain alternating between forest roads, dirt roads in the middle of the pine forest and long meadows crossing several huts and barns including: Fienili Munsa Bassi e Alti, Fienili Ghisella and Malga Corti.
The climb overall is quite linear with not too steep gradients, with no technical and challenging sections; you will have plenty of time and desire to admire the magnificent view around you; all the time you will be pedaling among the unspoiled nature of this magnificent place.
When you reach the end of the road, one of the best single tracks in the area awaits you, 100% riding your mountain bike!!!
The first section is a trail in the middle of meadows, slightly technical, with a few boulders to climb over, as you descend in elevation the boulders disappear and in their place we find packed earth in the pine undergrowth, a crazy flow where you can let your bike run without thinking about anything else.
The only flaw in this trail is that it has to end sometime!
