Mountain biking

Route: leave the car in the hamlet of Rua' at 1536m, continue on the wide and flat forestry-pastoral track. Along the first stretch, you pass by some private houses used during the summer by farmers to take the cattle to the mountain pastures. The route always continues with a gentle climb on a slope facing south up to Colle del prete at 1716m., where there is a small stone chapel with an altar. From here it is possible to admire Monviso, the Varaita valley with the Pelvo d'Elva and the Gilba valley below.
