Fri, 05 Aug 2016 14:14:31 GMT

The “50 km dell’Erbaluce” is a Gran Fondo MTB specialty. The race itinerary has been slightly perfected throughout its 7 editions, changing from the initial 42 km to the current 50 km, slowly adding new unexplored segments. The action area are the morainic hills that surround the lake basin of Candia, followed along the technical single track and the quick cart roads at the base of the moraine.

Recommended period for the race: normally every year in April

The Serra: on one side the steep rampart overhangs the plane of the morainic bowl, on the other side the infinite system of morainic sediments that follow each other

fading into the Biellese. Luminous woods of chestnuts alternate with dense pine forests furrowed with fire cutting pathways that cross paths for mushrooms and signs of antique torrents: an apparently indecipherable labyrinth that renews the fun of exploration with each pedal stroke, in an environment that changes continually. Once the ridge of the Serra has been reached through ascents that will satisfy those that love hard work, opening a world of satisfaction: an infinite playground, a natural bike park where you can search for a technical gesture - required by the insidious morainic terrain - never an end in itself, but framed in a continual need for discovery. If you want to struggle a minimum, you should start from the bottom and climb to height from the itineraries Connecting to the main Trace of the High Way starting from Chiaverano, Burolo, Bollengo or Piverone choosing a different return route, for a “ring” pathway.

For the more comfortable option, bring the bike by car to Croce Serra or Broglina, in order to increase the range of action of the explorational activity...

Recommended period for the activity: the entire year

The bicycle seat is the “first seat row” from where it is possible to enjoy both a sports adventure and an immersion in the culture and landscape: cyclists don’t just see the area, they become part of it, enjoying a closeness that is unknown by motorised tourists. A bicycle ride in the Amphitheater offers the cyclist a rich menu he can choose from: tough pedaling with hard ascents up to the flatlands in complete relax, surrounded by many opportunities to know the culture of the morainic territory. The always present vineyards with culigne, the shop with fresh canestrelli, the small church telling the stories of borgata, up to a refreshing dive into Lake Sirio.

Recommended period for the activity: Apri/November
