     Signage: 1911. Passo Bordala Trail - Tour

    A fairly demanding climb awaits us at the start of this route, which alternates between stretches of asphalt and nature trails that lead us to the S. Barbara Pass. The descent allows us to recover energy and then climb up to the Bordala Pass, where we can enjoy the beauty of the Val di Gresta mountains and their colours. Once we have reached this last pass and have recharged for the final sprint, it is time for the final descent to Ronzo-Chienis, our starting point.

    In spring, flowering takes over, as the snow melts the first crocuses bloom.

    Safety information

     The ITRS is an objective way to assess trails and routes from a biker’s perspective, evaluating four aspects:

    ·         Technical Difficulty: riding skill level needed

    ·         Endurance: combined effect of length, uphill and downhill

    ·         Wilderness: amount of planning required based on mobile phone reception, rescue options, water supply and wildlife

    ·         Exposure: consequences of a fall

    Discover more about the ITRS system and check the classification of this tour in the photo gallery.
