アオスタバレーのバイクパーク・トップ20

https://youtu.be/KdsaBL0twzY?si=-LI75WFE57aHMvCE Driving up to Cogne by car is worthwhile; the descent and the landscape are varied and very beautiful, and a few pushing sections aren't a problem at all.

Except for the valley lift, all lifts were closed. With the remaining lifts and the space, they could create a nice bike park, but I think they probably make enough money from their ski tourists that they're not even considering a proper development for bikers.

Lots of slopes but few people, guaranteed fun

Super flow route, great to start the day

Here arrives the "Cime Bianche Laghi" cable car that leaves from the town of Cervinia and begins to wind the fun bike park. You can have fun on the trails in the presence of the Matterhorn and the majestic peaks that keep it company. A truly unique panorama!

The first chairlift was built way back in 1948 thanks to the initiative of some pioneers from La Thuile, at a time when wooden skis were still used and today's equipment did not exist. Then came the 60s and precisely in the 67/68 season the first two-way cableway of Piemonte Funivie di Torino (the one with the famous blue or yellow cabins) started operating, followed by the ski lifts of Les Suches and Chaz Dura and the chairlifts of Cerellaz and Belvedere, dress rehearsals for the cross-border liaison with the cousins of the nearby ski resort of La Rosière. Today the work carried out by Funivie Piccolo San Bernardo allows, every year, over 450,000 visitors from all over the world to enjoy a one-of-a-kind ski area. Since the 2000s the facilities have also been open in summer with the possibility of going up both as pedestrians and with mountain bikes. The MTB World Championships will be held in July 2025

It is worth climbing up to this place, crossing the meadows of the long slope that ends at Lake Goillet. The Matterhorn and the Grandes Murailles frame the landscape majestically. The pass is a wide independent space, suspended in the heights and enclosed by the Cime Bianche as if they were a curtain. In front, the lakes rise up to the base of the Rosa glacier, with strong blue tones that become more and more intense as the water descends.

The name of the village of Breuil-Cervinia is not accidental. In the local dialect, “breuil” means “land of many waters”, as is proven by the numerous lakes, streams and watercourses that characterised the area of original settlement. Breuil-Cervinia was founded more than two hundred years ago at the foot of Monte Cervino, in the Breuil basin, a vast meadow of the Matterhorn that until then had only been accessible after hours of walking.
