Giàs del Vallonetto

Possible to find grazing cows, with dogs. As always, get off the bike and proceed without making sudden movements and never look him in the eye, after a while they will let you go

July 7, 2024,Passo Bernoir con discesa su lago Oserot 7 lug 2024

Exploratory tour to visit the Passo Bernoir bunker (visitable and in good condition). The first part of the descent involves a small climb with a chain (it will be 5 or 6 metres...), towards Lake Oserot it is a bit difficult and not very fun due to the very crumbly and very steep surface, but with due caution you go …

July 20, 2022,3-Tages Tour 1. Etappe: von Pietraporzio nach Chialvetta

Day 1: strenuous ascent from Pietraporzio to Colle Salas Blancias, Gardetta plateau and pass. Breathtaking descent via S2 trail (S3 in some places) to Chialvetta.

August 1, 2022,Rifugio Gardetta da Pietraporzio

Climb all pedaled except a piece after the refuge that causes landslide is all a stone.
Descent in my opinion 50% pedaled 50% no, who says the opposite is either an absolute pro, or lies.
Made with muscle

July 11, 2025,Giro del Passo di Rocca Brancia da Pietraporzio

Beautiful ride, great bunch, challenging but very satisfying descent. After the Gias Vallonetto pass up to the Salsas Blancias pass, the gradients are prohibitive; a motor is recommended, but unfortunately I don't have one. The stretch from the Gardetta Pass to the Rocca Brancia Pass is almost entirely rideable, if you have good legs, or a motor to help. Be …

Beautiful ring seasoned with polenta and beer at Gardetta...
Climb to Moriglione, Salsas Blancias overlooking the Meja and Gardetta refuge for lunch..
Restart for the Gardetta pass with a climb to Colle Brancia (among other things there is a mini excavator restoring the path torn up by landslides), descent to Lake Oserot to continue to Pietraporzio..
Tired of the state …

September 13, 2025,Rifugio Gardetta – Passo della Gardetta giro ad anello con partenza da Pietraporzio

Very nice ride, especially the first 25 km, then the descent from Colle Gardetta on a path is very challenging. Many pubs require you to carry the bike by hand, especially for those who don't have good downhill technique. @gardetta

August 21, 2023,Pietraporzio-Gardetta-Rocca Brancia-Lago Oserot

Very interesting, technical and panoramic tour, in short .... beautiful !!!!.
It begins with an interesting single track that can be cycled entirely and which reaches a beautiful dirt road with a well-maintained surface that climbs without too many stretches until it crosses the military road coming from Colle Fauniera.
Then continue on the military road itself, characterized by gentle …
