July 30, 2023,Passo di Rocca Brancia

One of the most beautiful alpine tours ever! Made in e-mtb, all pedalable. Beautiful descent entirely on singletrack. Pay attention to the exposed sections.

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

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

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 …

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 …

August 16, 2025,Anello del passo di Rocca Brancia&Lago Oserot

A high-altitude route with splendid views and a climb entirely on well-maintained military roads. The most challenging (and somewhat exposed) section is from Colle della Gardetta to the Rocca Brancia pass: there, the military road narrows and becomes very rocky, but remains mostly rideable thanks to the well-calibrated gradient. Unfortunately, there are several rock and debris slides that invade the …

August 22, 2024,Anello Salsas Blancias, Gardetta, Colle Brancia, lago Oserot, Pietraporzio

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 …

July 28, 2024,Salsas Blancias, Gardetta, Passo di Rocca Brancia, Bassa di Terra Rossa

Nice All Mountain ride!
The path to reach Bassa di Tera Rossa has two very delicate sections due to the collapsed path...

Thinking about it better after several days, I would not recommend the traverse up to Bassa di Terra Rossa... Better to go down towards the lake and then go up 100 m above sea level
