Monte Simone

Cyclo-mountaineering route with ascent via cable car to Varmost2, climb almost entirely by pushing, first on rough dirt ski slope, then trail, to the summit of Mt. Simone (pedalable and spectacular ridge section). Descent on a short section of the same and then left at Sella Tarondon to Sella Tartoi. Very steep and unfrequented, exposed sections, partially rideable on loose rocks and earth, with up and down sections, from Sella Tartoi it improves and enters the woods and shortly leads to Casera Tartoi. Easy dirt descent and ascent to Tragonia and descent on CAI trail 209 with small ascent from creek bridge and then all downhill in the woods among roots and rocks on compact earth base. In rain challenging and medium fast, very enjoyable. It comes out in Vico.
