Highlight • Viewpoint

June 29, 2025,Da Ardenno a Sasso Bisolo/Preda Rossa

Paved to the top, with a couple of hundred meters of grooved concrete.
It ends in a large parking lot, near a natural lake where you can cool off, but from there you can only proceed on foot.
A fair amount of physical preparation is required, suitable for any bike.
