With challenging singletrack and technical descents, weaving our way over 2,000 metre passes, past hanging glaciers, and around stunning alpine lakes. Mid-point of the trip, we take an ancient Roman military trail to lofty mountain refuges where we stay for 2 nights be prepared for some spectacular views. Our adventure continues as we ride over into Italy via a 2,700 metre pass, retracing Hannibals heroic steps. Val di Susa is our new home and the biking here is even more spectacular with the highlight 2000m descent from the Col delle Finestre to Meana di Susa. Here we experience first hand the warm hospitality of our agriturismo hosts, and the delights of their fine Italian cuisine.
