Embark on the "Da Cuneo a Fossano andata e ritorno" mountain biking route, a moderate journey through Piedmont's varied landscapes. This trail offers a diverse riding experience, blending natural terrain, gravel paths, paved sections, and singletrack. You'll enjoy panoramic vistas stretching from the rolling hills of the Langhe to the majestic Cuneo Alps, with glimpses of urban landmarks as you approach Fossano, including the impressive Castello dei Principi d'Acaja. Covering 35.8 miles (57.7 km) with 1162 feet (354 metres) of elevation gain, this ride typically takes around 4 hours and 15 minutes to complete.
While the research does not specify exact trailhead access or parking, the route connects the towns of Cuneo and Fossano, suggesting various entry points are possible. Some segments, particularly those between Centallo and Fossano, are described as entirely flat and utilize country roads, which might indicate easier access. Given its moderate difficulty, ensuring you have a good fitness level is recommended for the varied surfaces and potential for up to five hours of riding.
This route is a notable part of the extensive cycle-hiking network in the Cuneo area, renowned for its diverse outdoor offerings. It links two significant towns, with Fossano being home to the 14th-century Castello dei Principi d'Acaja, whose towers provide expansive views of Monviso and the surrounding Alps. Portions of the trail may also lead you through the scenic River Park Gesso and Stura, allowing you to enjoy riverside paths and green spaces.
