Alp Oliveto

Colle d'Esischie (Valle Maira)

The Oliveto tour is the little brother of the magnificent Monte Tibert tour with the village of Marmora as its base.

Description

A large part of the ascent involves the road from Ponte Marmora up to Colle d'Esischie. Here, 1400 meters of elevation gain accumulate, which ideally could also be covered by shuttle. After the pass, you switch to a single trail that leads through a fascinating landscape past Monte Pelvo and Monte Tibert up to Colle Sibolet (an additional 160 vertical meters).

The descent rides along the Bedale stream with S2/S3 difficulty until you reach a gravel road. This forms the transfer section to Colle Intersile Sud, where you then have to cover a few Elevation loss on gravel until the first shortcut trail branches off to the left. A mix of trails and gravel road leads from here directly to the village of Marmora.

Tip: Instead of riding to Marmora via Colle Intersile Sud, you can add the loop of the tour "Lou Bial Intersili" and make the tour noticeably more epic this way.
