DeutschCanto alto Dh x5 esagerate!
One of my favorite rides, just a stone's throw from home, with a nice climb and 5 nice technical super descents. 1300 of elevation gain which may seem few but they are nice tough to climb, with supersatisfaction. The climb from Sedrina takes about 90minutes (ebike). From Canto alto to the end of the last descent about 120minutes.
Going along the former railway you arrive in Sedrina where after a few meters starts a beautiful trail in the woods with nice challenging climbs passing by the Parini meadows and then arriving under the Canto alto, last 100meters pedalable with e-bike and a lot of technique, last 30meters pushing until the cross (the same climb is also a nice flow and fast descent).
Following the track begins a beautiful descent almost all technical S3 with S4 passages worth to be studied but doable practically all in the saddle on nice firm rock, turn left to avoid the impossible steps of the classic climb, and after some hairpin bends and a few meters in the midslope you come out on a flat path (hut area).
Here if you want to hurt yourself you can try to go straight to take some nice steps https://training.camp/it/route/689/canto-alto-canto-basso-ver-impossible/ or follow the present trail .
You turn right and after 20meters nice technical you keep the left path with some very interesting steps. The last part of this first descent is in a beautiful rockgarden, where I recommend you always keep right, arrived at a gully too narrow for bikes take the parallel track a few meters above that comes out just after the gully.
Arrived at Canto basso go down to the Martesana from a descent with flow and technical S2/S3 sections that ends at the Smile Fork. Descending you take the Catene trail, a nice rocky stepped S3 trail.
Here begins a fun link in midslope that allows you to reach the Pisgiú from which you can reach first the Galagu descent and then the PS3 Dh Easy or hard degree of difficulty S3
Very physical and technical tour almost all off-road Duration of the whole tour about 4h with emtb and 5.5h with mtb.
Tour worth doing just for the climb.... The rest is unclassifiable
It is classified as S3/S4 not for nothing as difficulty is inficato 4 out of 5 stars and in the description is listed as very technical descents, the fourth descent even was an enduro ps. I recommend to read well the track, the difficulty stars and maybe check on the various apps the level of difficulty as well as rating your own level
Hi, I don't want to sound like a keyboard hottie but this ride makes a beautiful climb, but the descents all suck and are impossible! So you have to write that they are only doable on foot even for world cup racers.
More than keyboard cool you seem to me like the riverbank cooler who can't read trails. As I said to the other user, if you don't know how to do the 4 star difficulty trails go do something else.
Ps: you probably didn't even follow the gpx track and ended up on the S5 steps
This is the video of the first and second descent

If I may, I know quite a bit about that ride and the area in general, and I confirm that it is pretty tough, but it seems to me equally true that @Valebg was more than clear in his description that it is no walk in the park.
