Grem, Branchino, Zulino

Epic tour, 3 spectacular valleys! You climb from Ponte Nossa on road with significant gradients and then on trail mostly and for several meters pushing up to Grem peak, for those who want less ravaning it is possible to avoid Grem peak by climbing directly to Capanna 2000 from this all-pedalable trail. From the summit on almost all-pedalable trail (especially in Emtb) you reach Capanna 2000. From here you connect to Branchino Lake via the low flower trail on nice technical S2 S3 passages, in a mountain environment with a final uphill section that is mostly rideable (some pushing but never very steep).

From Branchino descend to Alpe Corte for a first section on fun trail, final section on uninteresting carrale. From the Alpe Corte hut (open year-round) begins a super-fun 3.5-km-long traverse that ends below the Zulino. After a first part on pedalable prairie with emtb you continue pushing for 200 meters to the Zulino pass.

From the Zulino pass the most beautiful part of the descent begins on a S2 single track with a couple of S3 passages. From footbridges across the Sanguigno valley you reach the Gianpace refuge from which you take the last beautiful descent on nice grippy rock. You reconnect to the starting point from asphalt on a slight descent.
