    200 km of little-traveled roads, villages, towns, lakes, morainic hills, lavish castles, and everything this territory has to offer. The erratic boulders and the overwhelming nature of the Western Moraine, the Romanesque parish churches and the vineyards of that unique place called La Serra, the numerous lakes and resulting microclimates that allow the cultivation of important vineyards such as Nebbiolo from Carema and Erbaluce from Caluso, the rural world of Valchiusella, the ceramics of Castellamonte, without forgetting all the gastronomic specialties.

    Variety distinguishes this route, biodiversity and habitats that can be explored on a path never excessively steep and that presents no technical or excessively rough unpaved sections.

    Safety information

    HELMET: Although not mandatory, we strongly recommend the use of a helmet

    TIRES: Make sure the wheels are properly inflated; the importance of tire pressure is often underestimated as it increases safety and makes pedaling smoother

    LIGHTS: If you plan to pedal at dusk or at night, ensure you have front and rear lights, as well as reflectors.

    CLOTHING: Clothes with bright or reflective colors are recommended to be more visible to other vehicles.

    EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT: Bring a spare inner tube, a pump (or a CO2 cartridge), and tire levers to remove the tire. A small tool kit can also be useful.

    ROAD RULES: Follow road signs, always ride on the right edge of the lane, and signal your intentions to other road users.

    WEATHER: Check the weather forecast before leaving to avoid adverse weather conditions. In summer months, sunscreen is advisable to protect against UV rays.
