52km 1400m d + MTB Livigno - Day 2 Epic Ride Passo di Val Alpisella - Cancano Lakes - Alpe Trela
STRAVA: / strava
Val Alpisella is a small alpine valley north of Valtellina in Lombardy, from where the Adda river originates. It communicates with the Fraele valley, where the Cancano dams rise, and the Livigno valley with the Alpisella pass of the same name at an altitude of 2285 m. . The highest peak that delimits the hydrographic basin is Pizzo del Ferro which reaches 3,031 meters above sea level.
The Cancano lakes are two contiguous artificial water basins, located in the Fraele Valley in the Municipality of Valdidentro, not far from Bormio, a renowned tourist resort in the Valtellina in the province of Sondrio.
These two reservoirs are fed, on the whole, by the waters of the Adda river, which rises not far from the two basins on Monte Ferro as well as by the flow of the Spöl canal, the Gavia - Forni - Braulio canal and the new Viola Bormina canal. The total capacity of the two reservoirs is 187 million cubic meters of water and they feed the Premadio hydroelectric plant, also located in the Municipality of Valdidentro. The two basins, despite their proximity, have different names: Lake of San Giacomo and Lake of Cancano II
The ascent towards the Trela ​​pass is sometimes extremely difficult due to the slopes but it does not continue there are some points of continuous ups and downs and in about 20 'you reach the pass located at 2300 m.
Once you cross the pass, the real and pure fun begins, a beautiful single trail about 13 km long that will lead us back to Livigno, wide and fast.
Now approaching Livigno, the path near a wooden bridge will turn left along another short but intense climb, followed by continuous ups and downs, quite amusing, immersed in a beautiful forest of fir and larch trees.
The last meters of descent before re-meeting the cycle path along the Spoel river, are extremely fun but at the same time quite challenging with high slopes and some roots that can annoy the descent that once finished will make us return again along the cycle path and subsequently following the cycle path will allow us to return to the parking lot of the mottolino from where we started.
