Rif. Degli Angeli

Cyclo-mountaineering route of medium length but of great level for the beauty of the places and superlative descent, not for everyone but highly recommended to those who love the technical! Departure from Valgrisenche capital and on asphalt until Bonne, then dirt road until shortly after to alpine pasture Arp Vieille from which, after deadly ramp, the trail begins. You give a few pedal strokes until the fork to the refuge, then bike on your back and tongue out thinking about the beer waiting at the refuge.

From Rif. degli Angeli top view end of climb and full belly...the enjoyment begins!

Up to the little lake warm-up, then gradually it gets more technical, you find everything from hairpin bends on scree to those on fixed rock, brief moments on carpet but mostly on rock always solid and hyper grippy, a real lust!

The descent is very long and almost never gives up,indeed, having arrived at the Miollet cliff in a more bucolic environment the final section begins which is also more technical, exhilarating but very demanding in some passages.

If you arrive in one piece you will have printed a smile with 32 teeth or maybe a few less!
