Trail runter vom Lago di Ercavallo

Lago di Ercavallo can be reached via a wild and exposed military road. This also makes the ascent an experience. The descent is a first-class wonder of bends.

Description

From Ponte di Legno, a relaxed gondola ride takes you up to Tonale. For classic organic bikers, we recommend the gondola ascent from here via the Passo dei Contrabbandieri (including a carrying passage) to reach the Rifugio Bozzi. With an e-mountain bike, on the other hand, you start directly from Tonale on the steep ascent to the ridge high above Ponte di Legno. The final section of the ascent is on a trail that can just about be ridden with motor assistance - otherwise, short sections with the push assist help.

On reaching the top, a long, magnificent single trail begins that stretches all the way to Rifugio Bozzi. After the hut, the route turns into a former military road that rides spectacularly through steep terrain. Occasionally, it is necessary to push here as the path has slipped in some places. However, this section between the Rifugio and Lago di Ercavallo is already a real highlight - and the next one follows immediately: the spectacular serpentine descent into the valley.

The downhill trail begins just below Lago di Ercavallo and winds its way through the steep meadow terrain in countless hairpin bends. A short stream crossing forces you to descend, after which you continue in solid S3 mode to the Case di Viso group of houses. A world-class descent for all those who love alpine trails with technical challenges. The route back to Ponte di Legno is a mix of gravel roads and flowing single trails interspersed throughout
