Embark on the Escursione al Lago delle Rane — Giro ad anello, a difficult mountain biking loop in Italy's Valle d'Aosta. This challenging 9.9-mile (15.9 km) route demands good training, featuring a long uphill section on a dirt road that climbs 2324 feet (708 metres). You will be rewarded with fantastic panoramic views as you make your way to the picturesque Lago delle Rane, situated at 2376 meters, completing the tour in about 2 hours and 6 minutes.
This difficult mountain bike tour requires advanced riding skills, especially if you choose the very technical single-trail variant for the descent. The main route's descent is considered easier, but be prepared for physically taxing sections where you might need to push your bike. The best time to undertake this excursion is between June and September, when the conditions are most favorable for mountain biking.
What makes this trail truly stand out are the spectacular panoramic views that compensate for the strenuous ascent, leading you to the scenic Lago delle Rane. Near the Rifugio Mont Fallère, located at 2350 meters, you can discover a unique open-air museum featuring wooden sculptures by artist Siro Vierin, adding a cultural element to the natural beauty of the Valle d'Aosta.
