Gran Dubbione
The most difficult of our paths, suitable for more experienced cyclists but carved with suggestion, away from the inhabited centers and immersed in the luxuriant nature of the woods of the Carbunere Walloon. Passing over to Crò and Prà l’Abbà, meeting the Serremorchetto township from which you can enjoy one of the most fascinating views of our valleys. In four and a half hours for 35 kilometers, but only if you have good technical skills.
