Rifugio Morelli Buzzi

The Rifugio Morelli Buzzi (2351 meters above sea level) shows that the Western Alps, especially the mountains around Cuneo, are like a Hollywood blockbuster in terms of trails and scenery.

Description

The starting point of the tour is the parking lot near the Terme di Valdieri. From the very spacious parking lot, you set off in a relaxed manner along a former military road in the Vallo Alpino, which rides to the Rifugio Morelli Buzzi. Most of the way is still pedalable at first, but then the path becomes increasingly rough and difficult, with the bike finally having to be pushed up to the Rifugio at 2351 meters above sea level. The Rifugio Morelli Buzzi is picturesquely nestled in the valley basin and offers a fantastic landscape as well as culinary delights.

The descent runs entirely along the same ascent route. You can look forward to over seven kilometers of trail. Initially at difficulty level S3, later S2 and finally S0 to S1, you return to the starting point of the tour. There is something epic about riding down the trail in the evening sun and circling through the beech forests.
