Colletto di Canosio

The tour of the Colletto di Canosio is the extended version of the Colletto dell Encucetta with the legendary Valle Maira superflow.

Description

Start from Ponte Marmora in the heart of the Valle Maira. Follow the gravel road upstream to Prazzo and then turn left to climb up to Colletto di Canosio. You have to climb 650 meters in altitude this way to descend to Canosio on the south side via an S2 trail. Nun you roll into the neighboring village of Marmora, where it is worth stopping at the Albergo diffuso Ceaglio - a hotel and restaurant that has been catering to mountain bikers for many years. The route then climbs another 200 meters along the road to the hamlet of Borgata Superiore. This is the starting point of the long trail back into the main valley. This trail initially hugs the steep mountain flank and rides gently uphill to Colle dell Encucetta. This section is already a classic singletrail experience - but it was just a foretaste of what was to come: the descent down to the valley floor is a firework display of super flow. Not difficult, not steep, super flowy and twisty. If you let yourself go here, you'll roar straight into the trail frenzy. Far below, you are spit out intoxicated onto a gravel road, which you follow to the left back to Ponte Marmora.
