Monte Pracaban

Monte Pracaban is a breathtaking mountain with stunning views in the Stura Valley, offering a varied and inviting descent along narrow trails to the west.

Description

The tour begins in picturesque Campo Ligure. From here, a narrow paved road climbs steadily uphill to Pra della Colla. After a short descent on gravel, you ride up a rough cart track to Prato del Lupo. You then push your mountain bike along the ridge to the summit of Monte Pracaban at 946 meters above sea level. The mountain itself is considered an insider’s tip, yet it offers impressive panoramic views that are particularly magical in spring and late fall.

Next comes the highlight of the tour: the descent. From the summit to Prato del Lupo, sections rated S1 and S2 challenge your riding skills. The route continues across the ridge on a cart track and single trails toward Sella Franchizia. The crowning finale is a descent rated S2, with sections rated S1, leading partly down a shaped trail to Rossiglione. Finally, you return to the starting point via the paved Strada statale 456 del Turchino.
