Scenic Viewpoint over the Gilba Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Immediately next to the forest road is this spectacular panoramic point overlooking the valley, a little reminiscent of the famous "Fremo Cuncunà" of Elva

A beautiful ride with friends, including a visit to the beautiful village of Danna (worth seeing) and a very welcome stop for a bite to eat.

From the Danna b.ta to Colle di Gilba the terrain is a little stony at times... instead towards Colle del prete and Becetto the terrain is beautiful, because it was recently redone.
