Tour description

This route stretches just over 10 km with a 350 m elevation gain, winding through the upper Blenio Valley. It starts and ends in Olivone and is named after the Tibetan bridge that spans the Riasc stream between Aquila and Olivone. It is ideal for bikers at the beginner to intermediate skill level, with a normal risk of injury. The journey kicks off at the Polisport Center in Olivone, following a mix of asphalt and dirt paths around the Sina hillock. After looping back to the Polisport Center, you head towards Ponto Aquilesco. The route climbs on asphalt to Pinaderio, then leads to Sallo via an easy trail, crossing the Tibetan bridge. The return to Olivone is along asphalt and dirt roads, passing through several local villages.
