Val Masino e Foresta Incantata

IN THE LAND OF MOTHER NATURE

Intermediate

An all-mountain tour for good mountain-bikers to discover Val Masino and Val di Mello, an amazing and unique natural paradise in Italy.

The route from the ebike village to Val Masino is by shuttle bus. The beautiful e-MTB excursion begins in Filorera, following the cycle path through alpine villages and meadows with gigantic granite boulders. After reaching the centre of San Martino, the tour continues towards the Valle dei Bagni, passing through the Bagni di Masino Forest: a dense and silent forest of centuries-old beech and fir trees and moss-covered granite boulders. It reminds of a fairytale landscape! The path is up and down with some challenging technical passages. An obligatory stop is at Bagni di Masino to drink the curative waters that bubble to the surface at 38 °C.

The tour continues towards Val di Mello, one of the most famous natural places in the world. Here, parked the bike (access allowed only on foot), there is a beautiful walk along the mule track on the valley floor with stops at the most beautiful lakes, such as the Qualido lake and the Bidet della Contessa. The typical lunch with sciatt and pizzoccheri is in a restaurant in this wonderful valley.

The return to Morbegno is all to ride: after passing the Sasso Remenno, Europe's largest monolith and Epic Spot of VEF2023, and the Ponte del Baffo over the Masino stream, the route is on the Costiera dei Cech and its rural hamlets, with views over the Bassa Valtellina.

A truly unique e-bike tour!
