Bocchetta di Forcola - Bocchetta di Pedenolo - Val Mora: single trail guarantee and traces of the First World War
Details
Description
From the Umbrail Pass (2501 metres above sea level), you can reach the Bocchetta di Forcula at 2768 metres above sea level on an easy single trail, where you can marvel at old military installations from the First World War. After a short downhill, the ascent to Bocchetta di Pedenolo (2704 metres above sea level) is worthwhile, before tackling the descent to Lago di Cancano on the flowing singletrail. Along the lakes Lago di Cancano and Lago di San Giacomo di Fraéle, you ride on a wide gravel road in the middle of the Alpine landscape to Passo di Fraéle and then reach Passo Val Mora (1934 metres above sea level), the gateway to Switzerland.
As far as Palüetta (2009 metres above sea level), you ride on a single trail that is easy to ride and then take a forest road that leads through the picturesque Val Mora up to Döss Radond at 2234 metres above sea level. The scenic beauty of the Val Mora makes this long but not steep climb a pleasure.
From Döss Radond, some exciting and secret single trails lead right next to the forest road back to Sta. Maria.
Alternatively, very fit cyclists can tackle the tour as a round trip from Sta. Maria.
