Last weekend (23.-25.7.) my buddies and I chose a bit more "exotic" mtb tour in Italy. First day we cycled on asphalt along the panorama of Aosta, a bit over 1000m elevation gain. Second day we took our bikes on the gondola up to the ski resort Pila above Aosta, which in summer is crisscrossed with mtb trails. Here the view of Mont Blanc accompanied us. We did approx. another 500m elevation from the gondola up and 1700m down to Aosta. Trails well marked, nice weather both days, so great views nasmeh
