Colle San Carlo

The Colle San Carlo connects the Aosta Valley with La Thuile. The long ascent on the road is the basis for an exceptional and, in the lower section, fun and steep singletrail descent.

Description

The ascent to Colle Can Carlo begins in La Salle. Immediately after the bridge, the route climbs uphill. Just over 1000 meters in altitude are covered in this way. At the top of the pass, turn right and follow a gravel road up to the large transmission antennas. The impressive Mont Blanc massif can be seen again and again through the trees. The first section of the descent begins just after the last houses - a silky-smooth, world-class trail. Further down, you reach a gravel road, which you take to the right and follow for quite a while. This section is moderately attractive, but when you finally reach the crossroads, the singletrail fun starts again. A very steep path now leads downhill, you pass a group of houses and then head downhill - still steep but easy to ride - to the gravel road on the valley floor right on the outskirts of La Salle.
