Autumn and MTB: a ride in the foliage

The departure is as always from the Piana lifts, you go towards Craveggia, then you begin to climb towards the ridge, starting point of the homonymous descent as well as of the Vietcong.

Autumn forest in the mountains with scattered houses and mountains in the background, blue sky and scattered clouds.

Autumn rages on social networks, in stories and in general in the stories of all fans. I decided to take an e-bike ride to Vigezzo, trying to make a more peaceful trip, to be able to focus more on the colors and atmospheres of this season rather than on the technical gesture and the challenge with gravity. A nice round came out of it, one of those that put you back at peace with the world. A spectacular day, the crisp air of the first snow combined with the silence of a Wednesday morning filled this excursion with good vibration. To keep me company there was only the wind, the fiery colors and some curious animal, which occasionally peeped out of the woods timidly to understand what that strange being was.

But today no full helmet and protections, continue uphill to get under the Trubbio. The panorama is one of a kind, a 360 ° view that ranges from 4000 of the Alps to the walls of Val Grande, the largest wilderness area in Europe. Then begins the descent up to the arrival upstream of the Piana egg from where taking the black mountain (not the bitter ..) you return to the base.

A satisfying ride, which from next season will become a classic for everyone, since the gippabile will also be finished and will close the ring passing through Arvonio. For now, enjoy the images of the foliage and book a weekend to take a tour around these parts
