Home » Five crazy down: Padrio
Rapid downhill Mtb on the mountain ridge above Tirano, Valtellina, among dirt tracks, mule tracks and paths immersed in the conifer and chestnut forests of Mt. Padrio.
Technical description:
1) THE RISE.
– FROM TIRANO – Bus Station Square:
The ascent by bicycle from Tirano involves a 1,364 m elevation gain along 17.3 km of paved road, passing through the hamlet of Cologna and gaining elevation on the hairpin bends leading up toAlpe Trivigno. Climbing time by bike: 2.30/3 hours.
– FROM TRIVIGNO – The starting point, even for those making the ascent by car, is located above the small church in Trivigno where, at the foot of Mount Padrio, there is a large parking lot used in winter as the start of the cross-country ski trail.
Go up the asphalt road and turn left onto a dirt road that, skirting meadows, climbs gently to an elevation of 1,898 m asl at the Monte Padrio junction.
2) THE DESCENT
TRIVIGNO TO TIRANO: 12.9 km (downhill elevation gain: 1,500 m.)
After an initial stretch of easy dirt road and a very short piece of asphalt, the route takes a military road on the right that becomes increasingly narrow. You follow the asphalt road on the left and, after 300 m. approximately, turn right to descend, still on asphalt, to take the mule track that leads to Roccolo Pinchetti. From here, after two hairpin bends on asphalt, take a dirt road on the left that immediately becomes a path and descends to S. Rocco. From the small church a steep path leads to Marto. A long and fun dirt road finally reaches Stazzona and the bridge over the Adda River, which you cross on the right to ride the 4.4 km of bike path back to Tirano.
Thanks to the Valtellina Terziere Superiore Tourist Consortium.
