Has anyone any experience of trail riding in the Piedmont region of NW Italy?
Hi
Just got back from trail riding in the Bardoneccia area - fantastic.
We did a number of trails which including the Colle del Assietta (over 25Km at over 2000metres height), Colle del Finestre, Colle del Sequestre, Jaffrau (2700metres) etc
see here for example
http://www.stradadellassietta.it/The trails around there are mostly former military roads and indeed you do find loads of abandoned forts some from the Napoleanic times etc
By the way most of these trails are for walkers only at the weekends and vehicular traffic is only allowed in the week.
Cheers
