Valle di Susa - Sentiero Alpetour (559) + Sentiero dei Monaci (560)

A timeless classic in the Susa Valley that never goes out of style. The route climbs gradually through villages and along dirt roads until it reaches the slopes of Alpetour, offering stunning views of the valley and the surrounding mountains. But the real reason to tackle the climb is the descent. The Alpetour trail (559) offers a very successful mix of smooth stretches and more technical sections, where rocks, natural steps, and changes in terrain require careful and precise navigation. A varied and fun descent that allows you to gradually immerse yourself in the character of the area.

The second part on the Sentiero dei Monaci (560) shifts gears completely. The terrain becomes more challenging, the passages narrower and more technical, and the environment takes on a wilder character. Here, experience, line choice, and the ability to adapt to a trail that still retains all its original natural character are what count. A route designed for those seeking a true alpine mountain-biking experience, far removed from the logic of man-made lines and perfectly groomed trails. A ride that truly captures the soul of the Susa Valley: historic trails, natural terrain, and plenty of character.
