ITINERARIES IN THE GESSO VALLEY
The Gesso Valley offers itineraries for all tastes and all levels of cycling enthusiasts.
The Gesso Valley is a major attraction for local cyclists and cycle touring enthusiasts wishing to explore the Maritime Alps. The area's comfortable roads, immersed in pristine nature, are perfect for both year-round cyclists, taking advantage of the different seasons, and those who enjoy cycle touring only in the milder summer months. The proposed route passes through the valley's three municipalities—Valdieri, Entracque, and Roaschia—and runs primarily through the Gesso Valley of Entracque, beneath the imposing Monte Gelas, a peak that dominates the landscape with its majesty.
Although the limited number of flat stretches makes the route quite challenging, the effort will be amply rewarded by the beauty of the natural panoramas: lush forests, green pastures, and imposing mountains surround anyone who chooses to tackle these roads. Along the way, you'll pass the majestic Piastra hydroelectric dam, a massive feat of engineering immersed in nature. Another unmissable stop is the center of Entracque, a picturesque Alpine village where a stop is a must to savor local sweets, such as delicious potato or rye cakes, unique specialties of the valley's culinary tradition.
Before beginning the well-deserved descent, cyclists can choose to detour to Trinità di Entracque, located in the picturesque Bousset Valley, with its serene atmosphere and breathtaking views. Once back in the valley, they reach the center of Roaschia, another quaint village, famous for its spectacular caves, which can be explored for an added touch of adventure.
Fountains and springs abound along the route, where cyclists can refresh themselves and refill their water bottles with pure, fresh water. The more adventurous, seeking a greater challenge, can opt for a detour to the climb to San Giacomo di Entracque, a challenging but absolutely rewarding route. This route leads to the Lago delle Rovine, where visitors will find themselves facing the imposing Chiotas Dam, a spectacular view that rewards those who have decided to take on this additional challenge.
The Gesso Valley is therefore a perfect destination for those who love exploring by bike, offering unique emotions and unforgettable landscapes with every pedal stroke.
