Trail Reviews
This tour was organized by the C.A.I. Section of Belluno, conceived and conducted by the guide with the title of the National MTB Academy, Mr. Fabio Mares, helped by his guide Ennio Saviane, for CAI members regularly registered and equipped with MTB e-bikes. The route is suitable for expert cyclists equipped with MTBs. Favorite season summer and autumn. The tour involves tough climbs and equally steep descents on dirt and grass. Breathtaking landscapes and panoramas surround the whole tour. Along the way you will come across huts and shelters where you can stop to drink and eat. However, bring a good supply of water to drink. Avoid August due to the large amount of hikers on roads and trails.
