View of the Saint-Barthélemy Valley from Venoz

Gradually climbing towards Porliod, at the height of the hamlet of Venoz a spectacular view opens up over the valley of San Berthelemy, Lignan and in the background, the series of three thousand and more that are found between the Avic and the Gran Paradiso.

Porliod Picnic Area

Highlight • Rest Area

The Porliod picnic area is very well equipped. In addition to several barbecues and picnic tables, the area is also equipped with toilets. There is also a parking lot attached to the area. In the summer, stopping in the shade of the large fir trees is very pleasant, as is quenching your thirst at the fountain in the area. The open panorama over the San Barthelemy valley is spectacular.

Porliod–Rifugio Magià Dirt Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The dirt road that leads from Porliod to Rifugio Magià is very easy to pedal and therefore suitable for everyone. The surface is hard and compact, without any roughness. The slopes are gentle and without sudden changes. The scenery all around is simply enchanting.

Alpe Champ Combre

Highlight • Rest Area

About halfway between Porliod and the Magià Refuge is Alpe Champ Combre, with a beautiful fountain and magnificent flower-filled meadows, perfect for a stop.

Alpe Closeau Dirt Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The dirt road that leads from Alpe Vayoux to the Alpe Closeau plateau has a dirt surface, so in wet conditions it becomes very muddy. In dry conditions, the dirt road is easily cycleable, since the slopes are modest and the surface is not rough.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

In this section the dirt road passes through a forest of splendid fir trees, which in autumn take on a fantastic golden colour.

Porliod – Start of the Trail to Rifugio Magià

Highlight • Trail

Here begins the beautiful dirt road that leads to the Magià Refuge. In the winter, when it is snowy, for the first stretch (up to the intersection with the cross-country ski trail) it becomes a snowshoe trail.

The tour that starts from Issologne and goes up towards Lignan, then continues to Porliod – where the dirt road that leads to the Magià Refuge begins – is a classic of two-wheeled hiking in the middle Aosta Valley, especially in summer. It is not a particularly long route, nor is it too demanding from a technical or physical point …

A 'classic' itinerary to discover the natural beauty of the San Berthelemy Valley, in my opinion one of the most evocative corners of the Aosta Valley. The route is mostly on dirt roads that are easy to pedal on, which do not present any difficulty and can therefore be traveled by everyone. In fact, in the winter they become cross-country …
