Monte Estelletta
Description
The tour starts in Acceglio and winds along the main road towards Viviere up to around 1700 meters above sea level. From here, the military road continues up to the Colle del Ciarbonet at 2206 meters above sea level. Now it's "no mercy for the calf" for the biobikers. In contrast, things are a little more relaxed for e-mountain bikers. Immediately afterwards, you cross the tree line and enjoy a magnificent panorama of the Western Alps, with Monte Estelletta already in view. From the pass to the summit, the route continues partly by pushing, partly by pedalling and after less than 100 metres in altitude, the summit is also reached.
You then descend again at S1 to S2 level to Colle del Ciarbonet and continue along the entire trail towards Sorgenti del Maira/ Saretto. Once you reach this military road, take a sharp right and take the trail cutter with a slight uphill section back to Acceglio and the starting point. The entire descent has a difficulty rating of S2 (S3 in places) and offers enduro and touring riders a wonderful change of pace in the biking paradise of Valle Maira.

A long climb on tar and old military roads into a secluded valley. From Colle Ciarbonet we shouldered the bike. Great all-round views from the summit, but a biting, cold wind on this day, so only a short break and back to Colle Ciarbonet. The start of the descent immediately proved to be difficult to ride, as the path here was also broken due to the weather, with deep gullies, deep clay and rubble! Afterwards, however, we continued on challenging but fun and varied forest trails to Acceglio.
