Mtb among the vineyards of Gattinara

From the center of the pretty town of Gattinara, the mtb ride begins among the vineyards of its beautiful hills. The asphalt climb will take you to a scenic first stop: the Castelle Tower, with its Giant Bench. Continuing along a mostly unpaved road, you will reach the Castle of San Lorenzo, the highest point in Gattinara, from which you can enjoy an exceptional view of the mountains, the hills and the city.

From the castle you continue pedaling toward the Nervi vineyards and the panoramic terrace of the same name. From here you can then return to Gattinara by following the road that descends to the foot of the vineyards

Along your route you cannot fail to notice three beautiful art installations depicting characteristic chalices, placed at scenic points: the Vie dei Calici.

The hills of Gattinara, in addition to offering beautiful views and trails among the vineyards for relaxation, also provide a good adrenaline rush: just between the woods and vineyards there are numerous trails dedicated to enduro, for those who are looking for a little speed. These trails for fans of mtb descents, are known as “I Sentieri dei Gatti”, The Cat Trails.

Riding your bike, get ready to ride on uphill roads through the vineyards that connect to the start of the different trails that, with adrenaline-fueled curves and descents, will take you back to the foothills.

If you do not have adequate training, the use of an E-Bike is recommended.
