Val Troncea

A cycling route starting in Pragelato, Piedmont, Italy.
OverviewAbout this route

Nice route that winds through the valley.

After parking the car at Pettemouche, we followed the path on the right-hand side of the valley.

Unfortunately, the landscape is quite damaged compared to the past; there are signs of several landslides and areas where all the trees are broken.

At the junction to Troncea, we took the road towards it, overcoming a couple of ramps with a significant incline.

Upon reaching Troncea, to get to Alpe Mey, we decided not to take the road we had just climbed but instead took the one descending behind the Troncea Refuge, which then reconnects with the main path running alongside the stream.

It's a very fun single track, where we only had to push the bike in a couple of spots.

Finally, upon arriving at Alpe Mey, we took a break to take some photos and eat a sandwich.

For the return, we followed the same road but avoided the single track mentioned above.
