A simple and fun bike ride following the course of the Maira River along the Cuneo plain.

From Villar San Costanzo to Savigliano and back, on a route suitable for everyone (even children who are familiar with bikes), which can be ridden with no problem with gravel bikes or front MTBs.

The Trail on the Maira is all flat except for a few short descents and ascents, alternating between fun sections of single track in the woods and sections of wider road. Along the way, various environments are encountered where it is easy to spot wild animals and both resident and migratory avifauna.

Very special and fun is the crossing of the “Fairy Tale Forest,” a special area near Vottignasco where beautiful children’s stories are depicted on some panels and where there is also a reproduction of the Sword in the Stone.
