Punta Alta anello Nord

Panoramic track with arrival at punta alta, descents not too challenging, alternative to this one. Start from Tavernola Bergamasca following the not too busy roads and with lake view behind us we climb up to La rolla below Bronzone (during the climb we can also stop at the giant bench). At Rolla we get there after 5 minutes of pushing bikes, After a nice guided S1/S2 trail from Rolla we disembark at Colle del Giogo where we get a glimpse of the lake view. From here after a nice 50% rideable eat and drink with emtb where we can enjoy short technical uphill passages we arrive at Punta Alta. Here the view is a spectacle, with views of the lake and Montisola.

The descent of the trail goes down East on a not too difficult S2 trail with S3 passages (I don't recommend the South descent as then you would have to connect from the non-pedalable trail). After finishing the East descent the trail is almost all rideable but is still not at this time dirty and very exciting and often forces you to stop in some stepped sections, the difficulty is S2 with a couple of steps on S3+ steps.
