Beautiful ride between the provinces of PV and PC to do not immediately after a day of rain, terrain in parts clay and muddy. At km. 6.40 take the low variant because the one that gives the track is impassable.

The Tidone trail is a hiking trail almost 70 kilometers long. At this point, between Pianello and Nibbiano, the course of the river is easily observable. The Tidone trail is also managed by an association that aims to help people discover the beauty of these valleys: https://sentierodeltidone.eu.

Comment dated August 2, 2024.... Climbing Mount Pioggia on an eMTB is now difficult if not impossible! While before it was tough, given the surface and the sudden difference in altitude, now after the heavy rains of the last few months, which have dug out the stretch there is no path to do it in the saddle. By cutting the hay, the farmer made it possible to circumvent the stretch in question and reach the summit of Monte Pioggia!

The stretch, between Molino del Gobbo and Molino Rizzo, was the subject of an extraordinary fall of trees (about ten), many of which were large, which forced the Sentiero del Tidone association to close the stretch for cleaning and cutting fallen plants and restoring the path. Some fallen trees even have a height span of a couple of meters. The photos highlight the first part of the closed section, approximately 800 m. but the affected stretch continues up to Molino Rizzo, with a total of 1.60 km!
