Rifugio Alben (versione facile)

This tour is proposed to those who would like to ride under the Alben's cospect without the search for too challenging descents, In this track the proposed climb is from Cornalba on a road specially arranged for Emtb the slope is very high (20/25%), in mtb I suggest to follow the climb from Serina (see variants below).

Arrived at the Alben refuge (Emtb recharge point) continue from very nice and not difficult flat traverse to the Sappli Pass. From the pass there is the most technical part of the tour, the trail is becomes a technical "forced" descent about 80m very technical S4 and 80m S2/S3. Then it goes back to being an easy S2 traverse to Pian della Mussa. The tour continues on never too complex and very fun trails to Serina and then to return to Cornalba
