E-bike Nivolet tour in the Gran Paradiso Canavese Piedmont Park

E-bike Nivolet tour in the Gran Paradiso Park

The Gran Paradiso Park is one of the most fascinating destinations in all the Alps, famous for its breathtaking peaks, its intact and uncontaminated natural landscapes, and its rich and varied fauna and flora wild.

Although the park is mainly developed in high mountain areas (above 1500m above sea level), there are many summer itineraries to follow by e-bike, which will allow you to reach 3100m pedaling in a unique environment and descending on fun paths with a difference in altitude of over 1000m!

Our 3-day proposal, based in Ceresole Reale, will allow you to discover these magnificent places riding an e-bike (included in the package), and to fully enjoy fun and smooth single track during the descent.

Tour itinerary

We will take you to the wild Carro valley, shortly after Ceresole Reale, to Colle Leynir (3100m), one of the most evocative places in the whole park, especially for the characteristic reddish sand terrain where fast single-tracks flow leading to the Nivolet plain. To conclude with Colle Manteau (2800m) in the Aosta Valley, an entirely cycle itinerary that allows you to cross the entire Nivolet plain by pedaling, and which offers a 360° panorama of the Gran Paradiso group and the Meyes valley.

You will have the opportunity to visit in a sustainable way an area of ​​Piedmont which is still virgin from a tourism point of view, authentic and characterized by a very varied and highly wild landscape, especially in the upper valley, thanks to the Gran Paradiso park (the oldest protected area in Italy, which turned 100 in 2022), which has been able to protect these areas from overbuilding and the development of mass tourism, which is disrespectful of the natural environment and local folklore.

Assistance and Logistics

Throughout the journey you will be accompanied by qualified guides (who speak fluent English) and all the necessary logistics, so that you can concentrate only on the view and on cycling in harmony with nature.
