MTB Cima Colesei and Col Quaternà

Type: Interesting

Description:
Difficult loop due to length and elevation gain but very scenic and rewarding.
From S. Stefano head towards Padola (bike path or main road), upon reaching Padola follow signs for Val Grande Rif. Lunelli. In sight of the refuge turn right onto dirt road and proceed for about 4 km, on a wide panoramic saddle start the descent to the right, initially on the bike then walk some sections. Following the trail you reach the top of the ski lift at Passo Monte Croce then continue along the track towards the pass itself. Crossing the main road follow signs for Malga Coltrondo and then for Rifugio Rinfreddo. From the refuge follow the road starting right behind it (Trail 173) which with wide switchbacks arrives right at the foot of Col Quaternà. Just before reaching the base of Quaternà turn right (Trail 148) following the ridge of Col Rosson and Monte Spina along a very scenic trail with some beautiful and technical single track sections until reaching above the village of Casamazzagno. From there following the main road you reach Santo Stefano.
