description
This tour is built for riders who crave raw singletracks and remote vibes. We’re leaving the crowded spots behind to hit the massive trail network of Bardineto and Castelvecchio, where the terrain is as authentic as it gets. The day kicks off with a shuttle drop at Forte Melogno. A quick warm-up through the Barbottina forest leads us to the first descent: a long, fast plunge straight into Bardineto. Quick caffeine hit, then we earn our views. A punchy climb up Monte Sravaion will get your heart rate up, but the payoff is one of the most rewarding and fun ridges in the entire Finale Outdoor Region.We wrap up the morning session with Supercanaletta that drops us right into Castelvecchio for a proper local lunch.Afternoon Session After refueling, we tackle two more iconic backcountry gems. We close the loop with a final asphalt transfer to meet the train, heading back to Finale for the mandatory after-ride drinks.

general characteristics
Remote backcountry terrain stretching between Bardineto, Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena and the Val Neva. Characterised by long descents, extensive forest sections and a predominantly natural trail network, it offers a markedly different experience from the more developed coastal riding zones.
terrain
Mixed natural terrain featuring compact forest soil, exposed limestone rock, loose sections and occasional old mule-track surfaces. Trail conditions can vary significantly between shaded woodland and drier south-facing slopes.
trails
A diverse mix of fast-flowing singletrack, natural enduro trails and old-school descents. Long runs such as Parpage, Pianfieno and Appendaun are combined with more technical trails including Ca du Campo, Supercanaletta and Dondella, creating a balanced blend of speed, flow and technical features.
