Rosazza Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

I find the Rosazza side much more fascinating than the classic one from Biella, better to have lights to cross the tunnel.

Small loop waiting for the passage of the second stage of the Giro in Oropa, starting from Favaro towards the Santuario di Oropa to continue towards the Rosazza tunnel. Routes that deserve a second, more in-depth visit.
