Discover the Alpe Marco Trail: The All Mountain Adventure in Val Vigezzo

A unique trail that embodies the essence of MTB.


Over the years, Val Vigezzo has established itself as a reference destination for enduro enthusiasts and downhill.

Thanks to high-level competitions, trails such as the Colma, Smooth Root e Vietcong have become familiar to many bikers. Even the iconic “DH” has won the favor of numerous international level riders, consolidating the valley's reputation as a paradise for mountain biking.

But the real secret of this valley lies in continually broadening its horizons, making the most of its 900 metres of altitude difference to offer epic experiences, such as that of the Alpe Marco trail.

A route that lends itself to different interpretations, it can be experienced all in one breath, engaging the rider for about an hour, or experienced more calmly, transforming into an epic afternoon trip, perhaps after a tasty lunch at the tana.

The trail

It starts from Tana, located at the arrival of the cable car, with the first direction towards Colma. After the initial transfer, instead of following the traditional trails, you take a left towards Alpe Marco. After a short climb on a dirt road lasting about ten minutes, the real adventure begins.

The Alpe Marco trail offers an impressive variety of terrain: stretches on grass, rock gardens, technical descents through splendid beech forests, relaunches and even challenging climbs. A complete route, ideal for those with a competitive spirit and looking for training, but also for those who experience MTB as an experience of discovery, immersion in nature and pure fun. A trail that encompasses everything the mountain can offer.
