Roccabruna (Valle Maira)

The Valle Maira is known for its high-altitude military roads. These are combined in the Roccabruna with a great view towards Cuneo and great trail descents.

Description

At the start of the tour, you have to climb 1000 meters in altitude to get from San Damiano Macra up to the ridge. A large part of this is on asphalt roads, only at the end does the surface change to gravel. In this way, you reach the Strada dei Cannoni from Colle Birrone (1700 meters above sea level), which crosses the entire mountain flank like a cut. This military road forms the basis for the next section along the southern flank of Monte Birrone to Colle di Ciabra. Now follow a small road to Colle Valmala, where the challenging singletrail descent over the southern flank begins. Finally, you reach a gravel road on which you traverse the slope to Sant'Anna and a good bit further before the Borgata singletrail begins at a forest clearing. This forms the final section before reaching the main road in Valle Maira on a gravel road at the very end. Follow this road back to San Damiano Macra.

Note: If you want to improve the tour in terms of trail, take the trail directly downhill at Colle di Ciabra, which finally leads into the Borgata trail. The trail descent below Monte Cornet is also possible. This is a little more challenging at first, but then leads directly down to San Damiano Macra via Podio.
