ITINERARY
The mystical Izoard
We start this EMTB MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE heading straight to the goal; after all you are here to enjoy yourself and todays ride is a real feast for the eyes.
A first day which will set the tone for the rest of the week, limestone landscapes, high altitude alpine pastures, fast straight lines and winding switchbacks, something for everyone!
Overnight stop in a gite in the Queyras or in the Varaita Valley
Up & Down in the High Maira Valley
A short drive to Pelvo d’Elva in the Maira Valley. A coffee stop in the village and then we are off on our first sweet descent riding through pretty flowery villages (sooo romantic!) This trail is a fast one and it needs to be as there is another solid afternoon of riding waiting for us on the other side of the hill…!
Overnight stop in a 3* Hotel in Acceglio
Conquering Mount Bellino
I know this is an Enduro tour, so why is there so much uphill….because you can use you e-MTB to get you up to the top AND its so worth it for the 1600 metres of downhill bliss which is waiting for you….
Overnight stop in a 3* Hotel in Acceglio
Degringolade in the Stura Valley
Starting at the Gardetta Plateau it just doesn’t stop … an incredible ride across the plateau, a quick coffee in a mountain refuge to prepare for the amazing descent back to the hotel. 1500 metres of downhill pleasure that just gets better and better!
Overnight stop in a 3* Hotel in the Stura Valley
A little ride before we leave!
We can’t leave before we have one last ride up to the Neireissa Pass …to work off last night meal at ‘Chez Bartholo’! A short drive back to Vinadio, some more MTBing for the rest of the morning before heading back to Guillestre after lunch
