One of the most impressive journeys we did was our Biketrip to Valle Maira in Piemont. This part of italy is close to the french boarder and offers lots of old military paths to be discovered. Wild landscapes and wild singletrack as a leftover of the war between France and Italy beginning of last century. The Gardetta Plateau is a great starting point for epic riding adventures, and of course the italian food is a great way to refuel in the evening. It is about the whole experience. Best time of the year is for sure autumn because of its golden colors.
