July 22, 2023,Fontanamora - lago Vargno - Alpe Pietra Bianca in e-mtb

Tour with challenging slopes especially after reaching Lake Vargno. Fund that alternates between stretches of dirt road and fortunately asphalted stretches in the stretches particularly strong (even 20%) Beautiful views of Mount Mars. Pleasant and easy the stretch to reach Coumarial (erroneously not traced) where there is a pleasant refreshment place

Originally planned with Komoot, I believe I chose the "ibex" option.
Paths impracticable for me, I passed the road. Just above Lake Vargno the road is still closed due to snow.
