New trail paradise in Piedmont
In addition to professionally designed bike parks, the naturally flowing single trails are particularly impressive. The "Alpi Bike Resort" offers a diverse range of trails and slopes, some on high alpine rocky terrain, others on soft wooded terrain. From downhillers to Eduro riders and touring riders, everyone is catered for here. Already in its second season, the bike paradise has 12 mountain railroads, over 50 freeride routes and hundreds of kilometers of bike trails to offer. The project includes the towns of Bardonecchia, Cesana Torinese, Chiomonte, Claviere, Pragelato, Prali, Sauze d'Oulx and Sestriere and is to be further expanded by June 2010.
The "Alpi Bike Resort" project was launched in 2007, immediately after the 2006 Winter Olympics were held in the region. On the initiative of nine towns in the region, the aim is to create Europe's flow paradise on the Italian/French border. The project, which is supported by the EU, will use the funds raised exclusively for professional trail construction.
The region is well connected in terms of transportation. Whether by train, car or plane, Turin is around half an hour's drive from the resort.Note: This content has been automatically translated from German. Please report any incorrect translations.
