Manuel, Cycle-tour leader and Environmental Hiking Guide of the Piedmont Region and FCI instructor, will take you on an experience, not a mere bike tour. Discover the area, combining the pleasure of cycling among nature, art, history and legend, enjoying the food and wine of my land.
The areas where he regularly works are:
Lower Monferrato: From Casale Monferrato to Trino passing through the Po river park or cycling among the magnificent hills among vineyards and castles, farmhouses and picturesque scenery which face onto the Po plain, in the beautiful Pastrona Park and the routes of the sinuous Kintana. Cycle the technical and fun single tracks of Mount Sion in search of excitement, or simply from the plain to the Sanctuary of Crea rigorously offroad!
Castles and ghosts, legends, art and history, from Romanesque and Gothic churches to the industrial archaeology of what was the capital of cement, Casale Monferrato, from the vineyards of Barbera and Grignolino to the Infernots, a landscape to enjoy and discover.
Vercelli area: the classic "tours" of Castles, fiefs and legends, the Principality of Lucedio and the Grange, the Park of Sorti and Partecipanza, the via Francigena the visits to the farms, the Sesia and Po river park, close to the rice field and its changeable colors in the evolving seasons. The rice fields of the Vercelli area are similar to a checkered sea; these are are just some of the cycling "experiences" to enjoy in this area.
Biella: Nature par excellence, with Burcina park, among rhododendrons and sequoia trees, and picturesque landscapes from "Bric Burcina", immersed in the nature reserve of the "Felice Piacenza" park, garden of immense botanic interest. The Oropa basin, its Sacred Marian Mount, connected by a track to the Sanctuary of Graglia. If, on the other hand, you enjoy wild nature you can discover the Savannah of Biella and push yourself as far as the canyon of Castelletto Cervo, a breathtakingly charming location. For the more adrenaline-driven there are two quintessential geosites, the Serra Morenica of Ivrea and the Super Vulcano that lap the magical "red banks", both with adrenaline-fueled single tracks and an immense geological and natural heritage.
Valsesia: Lower and Higher Valsesia, among sites of the Super Vulcano and Walser tradition, the beautiful Marian Sanctuary of Varallo, one of the greenest valleys of Italy, from the simplest tour which crosses woods and villages, following the cycle route which travels along the River Sesia in complete relaxation, or from Mera to Alpe Sorbella passing by the lake of Pizzo admiring the magnificent Mount Rosa. There are also more complex and adrenaline-rich trips with variants depending on the level of difficulty you will be able to tackle, or let yourself be guided among the rolling hills of Gattinara and enjoy magnificent scenery among the vineyards of Gattinara, the ruins of ancient towers and castles, legends and trails of Fra Dolcino. Valsesia is just waiting to be discovered.
FCI instructor: Safe leading courses - With maximum professionalism and reliability to overcome your limits or simply to give you the best tools and instructions to improve your leading technique, essential for safe leading in any environment and area.
