Il Pistino MTB Trail Valchiusella

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Fun route, at times it is smooth but there are also technical passages that require safe driving and experience. The slope is well maintained but can also be dirty or have some obstacles, I recommend doing it in dry periods.

Roman Bridge of Fondo

Highlight • Bridge

The humpback bridge of Fondo is a real jewel of Valchiusella. This, in reality, is one of the many present in the valley. Absolutely worth a visit.

It is a unique place of its kind. In a rather small and circumscribed area 2 steps from the Montalto lake (also called "Rabbit" lake) there is an area with a very dark soil composed of water, peat, earth and medium-sized trees. Especially when the ground is wet or it has rained previously if you jump on the surface, it moves creating small waves making the surrounding trees dance. A real show! You can reach the dancing lands from 2 different dirt tracks. For those with good technical skills the entry or exit paths in both directions are also fun to pedal.

Regardless of whether you reach the Serra di Ivrea or not, even wandering around these lakes, taking advantage of the good signage present, pays off! There is a nice variety of environments and paths, from single track to dirt road, ending on cobblestone sections, never too banal, especially in the wet... the lake environments are beautiful, given that most of these lakes are not very urbanized, the stilt houses rebuilt on the shore of Lake Pistono are very beautiful, they certainly deserve a stop. Places also suitable for children, given that in the lake area the differences in altitude are very modest... just watch out for hikers, because the paths are open to everyone!
