Col del Tonon

A historic tour awaits near the village of Claut. On the descent from the Forcella Clautana, a military trail from the First World War mutates into a fantastic single trail.

Description

The tour starts above the village of Claut near Lesis. From here, the route begins with a relaxed ascent along a forest road through the beech forests, with occasional concrete uphill sections. At Casera Colciavás, you cross the slope and reach the highest point of the tour, the Col del Tonon in the direction of Forcella Clautana.

At the beginning, you have the option of riding down the forest road as an easier variant and taking the trail sections up to Forcella Clautana. This means that the tour is also suitable for riders who are less technically experienced. Once you reach the Forcella Clautana, a military road from the First World War begins. A perfectly constructed route from the last century, built with the simplest of means, today offers absolute downhill fun with endless flow. Partly in its original condition, partly somewhat eroded, countless meters of trail are ridden to Casera Casavento. Once you arrive at the edge of the Alta Val Cellina at an altitude of just under 950 meters above sea level, the route then descends steadily back to the starting point on a forest road and some trail cut-offs.
