YouTube video:

Very varied circuit with not excessive climbs and slopes, mainly on asphalt, but descent and return between single tracks and dirt roads in the woods. Good training and technique required.
Made with muscular XC mtb.

Departure from Avigno, just north of Varese. The primary objective is to reach Santa Maria del Monte and then the Campo dei …

July 7, 2023,Campo dei Fiori-Forte Orino con discesa da sentiero 13

A beautiful day with many km uphill but also with breathtaking views. I tried to descend from path 13, seen in the videos of other bikers, but I definitely advise against it due to the lack of a smooth flow and the numerous rocks that force you to often get off the bike.

Beautiful ride overlooking the lakes. The path that descends from the Orino fort is absolutely not to be followed; battered with fallen trees and covered in leaves. The Monte Morto path is always beautiful.

Currently, trail 301, which is the only easy route to reach the place, is only open on weekends and …

The aim was to make the path from Mte Pizzelle to Castello Cabaglio. I explored it and it looked very nice. Unfortunately it was all in the shade and in a day like this I preferred to go to the side in the sun and enjoy it to the fullest. To be redone in the summer
