This circular route takes in Val Lia and Val Cardonè, with an average gradient of 10%, maximum 15%. There is no great difference in altitude and medium pedal assist can therefore be used. The first uphill stretch is tarmacked to the Pian de li Astela car park at 1600 metres asl, where you leave the main road and turn left onto the rough track to Pezzel (no. 286.2). The route continues with many hairpins through the woods, up to almost 2000 metres. Ignore the trail to the left to Alpe Pone and instead ride down to the characteristic village of Ciuk and then back on the main road in Val Lia to the Borron mountain refuge. A lovely stretch through the wood leads to Val Cardonè, then down again until you are back on a tarmacked road, still in Val Lia to Presedont. The entire ride is accompanied by views of the majestic Cima Piazzi glacier.
