Gardetta (Valle Maira)

The Gardetta between Valle Maira and Val Stura is a legendary and impressive plateau. This route takes you around it in a singletrail version.

Description

The tour starts at the Colle del Preit alp high above the Valle Maira. You can get here via Preit by car or bike shuttle. The tour begins with a gravel road ascent to Rifugio Gardetta and on to Passo Gardetta. Here the road turns into a good trail, some of which is spectacularly rocky. The bike has to be pushed briefly in a few short places. This is how you reach the Passo di Rocca Brancia, the transition into Val Stura.

The descent to Lago Oserot follows, an outstanding Alpine trail through a seemingly untouched landscape. You ride far down to an altitude of 1950 meters above sea level. Instead of riding all the way down into Val Stura, we head back towards Valle Maira. The bike has to be carried and pushed around 500 meters up to Colle Vallonetto. This is followed by the mountain trail to Colle di Salsas Blancias, where you meet the famous Gardetta military road. Follow this road for a short distance to Colle Margherina and continue here for the final descent on the single trail through the Gardetta Arena back to Colle del Preit. If you have taken the bike shuttle up from the Valle Maira, follow the challenging trail to the Grange Culausa and then roll comfortably down to the road. In the absence of trail alternatives, follow this via Canosio to Ponte Marmora.
