A long loop tour to discover the upper Erro valley.

 

Departing from Pontinvrea, you follow the provincial road to the vicinity of Giovo LIgure, where you turn right, first on tarmac as far as Forte Bruciato, then on a dirt road through the woods. The asphalt road then rejoins the asphalt road and a short but very steep climb to the Rocca Ghinghirina wind farm. 

 

Follow comfortable dirt tracks as far as naso di gatto (cat's nose), here a diversion to the left allows you to stay on the asphalt and reach the Napoleon memorial stone. From here follow other dirt tracks in the Cascinazza wind farm and descend to the hamlet of Ferriera di Montenotte from where you return to Pontinvrea via a convenient asphalt road with little traffic.
