Servagno and bodoira mountain loop
Itinerary that will allow you to discover some signs of the two world wars such as bunkers, barracks, ruins of fortifications, encroaching for a stretch in the Stura valley.
The tour begins at the parking lot at the Grange Selvest, where you cycle on asphalt up to the Preit pass, then continuing along the dirt road that climbs the Gardetta plateau. The itinerary will touch the Rocca Brancia pass and the Oserot Pass, then continuing along a technical path. After losing altitude you will go up towards Colle della Montagnetta, where a steady climb along the hillside will lead you to the slopes of the Sarvagno, Giordano and Bodoira mountains, up to the Vallonetto hill. The stretch that follows requires a lot of caution and intervals on foot. After having passed the descent to Colle di Valcavera, continue on the right, passing the Cologna and Margherina hills to climb back towards the Meja lake for Colle d’Anoccia, on the slopes of Becco Nero. Going down towards the pastures you reach the Passo del Preit, continuing towards the Tombstone of the Alpini. Continuing to descend you will meet the forest-pastoral track that reaches the starting point steeply.
The route consists for the most part of single trails and dirt tracks and for almost 4 km of asphalt.
