Sampeyre | Ride MTB

The round tour from Sampeyre in Valle Varaita to the legendary Strada dei Cannoni and the trail descent over the Colle della Bicocca is one of the most scenically impressive and technically rewarding undertakings in the Western Alps.

The Colle di Sampeyre separates the Valle Varaita from the Valle Maira and offers a long and flowing trail descent to the north, which is characterized by an easy but long uphill.

Trail circuit of superlatives around Sampeyre, the main town in the middle of Val Varaita. With ascents mainly on gravel and cart tracks and well-groomed enduro trails of the highest quality on the descent. Particularly worthwhile sightseeing stops in various dilapidated villages and hamlets.

The Passo della Losetta is an experience in itself. Nowhere else can you get as close to the Monviso as from this pass below the mountain of the same name. For e-bikers with ambitions for tricky uphill trails, the variant through the Soustra valley and back the same way is the best option.
