Route
An itinerary within the reach of all off-road cyclists (Gravel, mtb, e-bike), winding through fields, vineyards and small villages, offering a glimpse of the famous and challenging "Rive Rosse" area, which is one of the most interesting mountain bike and enduro destinations in northern Italy.
Departure is from the headquarters of the Rive Rosse Racing Team in Brusnengo, and immediately unfolds on wide, well-cycling dirt roads that lead from the woods to the rice fields of eastern Baraggia, as far as the town of Gattinara. After crossing the town centre, the road climbs up through the vineyards yielding one of the finest wines of Alto Piemonte; from here, the views become more interesting, allowing sweeping views of the Po Valley with the vineyards in the foreground. Follow the off-road track as far as the hamlet of Camino (Roasio) and the next village, Curino, before returning to the starting point through the vineyards of "Bramaterra".
