Mountain biking trails in Piode

A wide high-altitude dirt route that offers wonderful panoramic views of Valsesia and Monte Rosa.

Route that crosses the length of Alta Valsesia, passing through the most important artistic and cultural sites in the area and arriving at the renowned Alagna, Walser Green Paradise

Discovering the Upper Valseisa by bike from Balmuccia to Alagna

Starting from Biella towards Valle Cervo, you climb Passobreve on a long and demanding dirt road up to the Cappelletta degli Alpini, then continue on a short stretch of asphalt of the Panoramica Zegna to reach Bocchetto Sessera, the gateway to Valsessera; after a short break, you take the dirt road towards Alpe di Mera, crossing the entire upper Valsessera. Upon arrival at Mera after three hours of pedaling, it is possible to have lunch at the hut and recharge your e-bike. You set off again on a short and quite challenging trail, passing several mountain huts to reach a dirt road where you can admire a beautiful panorama of Valsesia and Alpe Di Mera until you arrive at Colle del Monte Ovago where the road continues cutting diagonally through a series of semicircle mountains until you reach a junction for the Mezzana hut where you follow the left road which leads to another junction where you can admire in all its splendor Alpe Pizzo and in the background the majestic Monte Rosa massif. Continuing you reach Alpe Sorbella, another splendid alpine pasture immersed in the greenery of these valleys. From here you descend into Val Sorba on a steep, winding road with loose stones where you must be very careful. After crossing the stream, you soon reach Rassa which is worth a visit; be aware that cycling is prohibited in the village and bikes must be carried by hand to best admire its beauty. You continue on asphalt to Quara to then proceed on the Valsesia cycle path where you cross several villages until you reach Riva Valdobbia: due to construction work on the cycle path, you continue on asphalt until Alagna. You end the first day of this fantastic tour with much satisfaction that outweighs the fatigue.

A loop trail starting from Scopello, climbing to Alpe di Mera on a road, then continuing on a dirt road through Colle dell'Ometto, along the ridge of Mount Bo, to Alpe Sorbella and Rassa, and returning to Scopello on a road.
