The route
This shared itinerary of the southern slope is to be traveled exclusively downhill. From Monte Maddalena, it descends towards the city offering a dual arrival option, utilizing the terminal sections of trail 903 or 904. Throughout its development, the route features sections reserved exclusively for mountain bikes, which are very challenging and suitable for experienced users, or, conversely, designated solely for pedestrian transit. Overall, it is a route of great interest both environmentally, thanks to the presence of diverse habitats ranging from chestnut forests to Erica arborea formations, from the ornitho-ostrieto to the scotano and dry meadows, passing through the characteristic Sesia pond, and scenically, as from the open spaces at altitude (resulting from the intertwining of trails 903/904, 912, 902, and 906) one can enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the city and the plain.
