This valley in Piedmont is appreciated also for its downhill tracks, although they are not always well marked and they do not offer a real “bike park”. Expert bikers can reach Piana di Vigezzo by cable-car and then go down the challenging tracks through woods and alpine pastures.
All the tracks are maintained and marked by a group of volunteers.
