Variante Passo Gemelli - Alpe Corte

Descent variant of this tour adds about 600 meters of elevation gain for the ascent from Alpe Corte, the descent from Gemini Pass is not one of the most exciting in the area as it has numerous S5 sections so not rideable. Ascent to Alpe Corte on steep but manageable trail with some paved sections. The descent from the Branchino pass is worth all the effort made before. Towards the end of the descent, it is possible to continue to the Mezzeno huts or following the trail, descend from the trail coming to the 13th hairpin bend, a nice very technical trail.
