Entrance to Grotta del Bandito

Highlight • Cave

The dirt road from Valdieri to Bandito passing directly in front of the caves of the nature reserve is very panoramic and well cared for.
Nice to ride but just as nice for a walk.

Not to be missed.

Uomini e Lupi Wildlife Center

Highlight • Structure

The Men and Wolves Wildlife Center (with paid admission) is certainly a place of naturalistic and museum interest. A turret allows observation of wolves in the surrounding area.

An artificial basin in the municipality of Entracque, Lago della Piastra was created in the 1960s by blocking the San Giacomo branch of the Gesso stream. Not far away there is a hydroelectric plant named after Luigi Einaudi.

August 9, 2024,Al rifugio Ellena Soria

On asphalt up to San Giacomo, then dirt road pleasantly pedalable. After Piazzale dei Cannoni the climb becomes more challenging due to the uneven surface and in two sections I carried the bike by hand.....The descent repaid me.
