Val da Cam
Description
Following the road to the Septimer Pass, you leave Bivio and quickly gain altitude. The surface soon changes from asphalt to gravel, but the alpine road is well maintained. On the historically significant Septimer Pass, you pass the Cesa da Sett, a pretty mountain hut with a few places to stay overnight. The descent is along the old mule track, which is now quite rough and requires careful driving in wet conditions. Once you reach Alp Maroz Dora, keep sharp right and tackle the second ascent. Riding at first, the narrowing path soon forces you to push. After Alp Maroz Dent, you cross the plateau and hump your bike for the next 300 meters or so. You reach another plateau and complete the rest of the ascent through the lonely Val da Cam mostly by riding. An inconspicuous transition signals the start of the descent. This is first-class at first, but then turns into an impassable meadow path, which only changes character again when you reach the tree line. An old alpine path then winds its way through the forest over roots, stones and rock slabs. The path is only steep for a short time, but requires very good riding technique due to the constant alternation of sometimes slippery roots and stones. The trail rides more or less in the fall line to Vicosoprano in Bergell.
