FINO ALLE SORGENTI DEL PO IN BICI! L'itinerario spettacolare sotto il Monviso

From the 300 meters of Staffarda Abbey to the 2,020 meters of the Sources of the Po: is this one of the most beautiful cycling routes in all of Piedmont (and Europe)? 🚴‍♂️ With Angelo Furlan and Stefano Melchio, a local guide for the Piedmont Region, we discover a spectacular climb along the Po Valley, in the heart of the province of Cuneo. 40 km of pure beauty that combines great cycling, history, and unique landscapes. Starting from the extraordinary Cistercian complex of Staffarda Abbey (built in 1135), we pedal toward the majestic face of Monviso, the "King of Stone" at 3,841 meters, until we reach the Pian del Re plateau, the cradle of the Po River. 📍 ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS: 🏰 The start between history and the plain: The departure from Staffarda Abbey and the ideal warm-up among the fields reclaimed in the Middle Ages. 📜 The secrets of the area: Mount Mombracco, mentioned in the writings of Leonardo da Vinci, and the extraordinary village of Balma Boves, nestled beneath the rock. ⛰️ The great climb of the Po Valley: The progression towards Crissolo, managing the slopes, and tips for tackling the elevation gain. 🚫 Pedaling in silence: Details on the Legendary Climbs project, including the days the road is closed to motorized traffic so you can enjoy the climb in complete safety. 💧 The finish line at 2,020 meters: The arrival at the source of the Po River in Pian del Re and a well-deserved third place with polenta concia at Pian della Regina! An ideal route for those who love cycling, history, and the pristine nature of the Piedmont Alps. 🗺️ Discover all the cycling itineraries in the Alps, Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato in the province of Cuneo: https://wowoutdoor.it/attivita-sport-... #ENDUDiscovery #CycleTourism #Monviso #PiemonteInBici #SorgentiDelPo #Cuneo #inlovewithCuneo #cuneomoments #visitcuneo ~~~~ 00:00 - Introduction: Staffarda Abbey and the view of Monviso 00:53 - History and origins of the Cistercian Abbey of Staffarda 02:02 - The Po Valley itinerary: From Staffarda to Pian del Re 03:12 - Mombracco: Leonardo da Vinci's mountain and quartzite 04:02 - Borgata Balma Boves: The rebirth of the village under the Rock 5:33 AM - Local Alpine Architecture: Luserna and Bargiolina Stone 6:16 AM - When to Climb: The Legendary Climbs Project 8:49 AM - The Climb to Crissolo and Managing the Slopes 10:14 AM - Arrival at Pian del Re (2020m): At the Sources of the Po River 12:04 PM - Third Halftime at Pian della Regina: Alpine Polenta Concia ~~~~ ENDU Channel: Share your passion for sport with us!
