August 25, 2024,Elva e Fremo Cuncunà - Alta Val Maira

Mandatory route in the upper Maira Valley!
Elva and Fremo Cuncunà are unique places.
However, this tour is not for everyone, the first part from Colle San Michele is on a very exposed path even if technically not too difficult.
Overall, excellent MTB driving technique is required.
