I recommend this Tour to those who have adequate physical and technical preparation on high mountain off-road…

The dirt climb from Pattemouche to Borgata for at least 50% cannot be pedaled!
For the rest, the Assietta tour is always fantastic in good weather ...
The overall altitude is almost 1700 meters probably the high pressure has deceived the altimeter and the highest point is Il Genevris at about 2510.

pleasant temperatures up high, light drizzle at …
