Cycling itinerary

Refuge Hut 2000 ~ Flower Trail ~ Val Vedra

A wild and remote loop itinerary, reserved for experienced bikers: technical terrain, exposed sections, no signal, and no escape routes. Here, you’ll ride (and push) in complete isolation, immersed in an untouched and fragile landscape, to be tackled only with preparation, full gear, and great respect for the environment.

This route is a true adventure that requires physical preparation and important technical skills due to the terrain's morphology, which alternates ascents and descents with exposed sheer sections that require pushing the MTB and maximum concentration.
There are no alternative routes, there is no cell phone signal coverage, you don't meet many people.

It is therefore very important:

Organize the trip with multiple people
Leave travel time information
Bring all necessary materials in case of breakdowns
To have the certainty of good weather and dry ground

A full-suspension MTB is recommended. The trail is characterized by continuous changes in gradient, with frequent sections requiring you to dismount and walk due to the presence of large rocks.
The GPS track along the descent is useful.
At confusing intersections, follow the direction indicated by orange markings.
Given the delicate natural balance of the area, utmost respect and corresponding civil behavior are recommended towards the spectacular blooms, which are of great botanical value.
