ピニョーネでののおすすめグラベルライド

Passo Alpicella is located at 710m above sea level and is part of the 42nd stage of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri. It is located on the watershed ridge between Val di Vara and Valle del Magra, offering open views that on clear days reach the Apuan Alps and the Gulf of Poets.

The dirt road that connects the hamlet of Bagatello to Valico dei Solini follows the route of the 43rd stage of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri (Ceparana–Valico dei Solini) and also partly coincides with a segment of the Lunigiana Gravel. The route is easy to ride: the surface is largely compact and stable, ideal for gravel and MTB. Some short sections have a slightly more unstable surface, with loose gravel or uneven terrain, but overall the ride is smooth and pleasant, even uphill. The natural setting is very suggestive, with wooded sections and open views towards the Val di Vara.

Here the dirt road runs along the ridge of the mountains between the Vara Valley and the Magra Valley

Shaded place, ideal for a stop in the summer.

ALPICELLA PASS WHICH DIVIDES LIGURIA FROM TUSCANY PHOTO OF THE OLD RESTAURANT

As a link between Pontremoli and Sesta Godano, the Rastrello was tackled by the Giro d'Italia only once, in 1963. Giorgio Zancanaro was the first to reach the summit. It climbs over 1,000 meters above sea level.

The panoramic road of Mount Cornoviglio is located between the Alpicella pass and the Casoni pass: this offers a fantastic view of the coast and the entire region.

The Rastrello Pass is located between Zeri and the Val di Vara and symbolically divides the territories of Pontremoli from those of Genoa.
