We offer everyone the routes to be covered with the handbike, the bicycle designed for those who do not have the use of legs, graded according to three levels of difficulty according to the level of preparation of the user: easy, medium and demanding.
This offer is aimed at everyone, not necessarily only for disabled people, and also for children: the pleasure of moving using the arms instead of the legs allows anyone to enjoy the route.
EASY ROUTE
Currently the Valle D ’Aosta has a cycle path that starts from Saint Vincent up to the sports field of Sarre, a totally asphalted road that mostly runs along the Dora Baltea.
Small ups and downs characterize it and make it accessible to any type of handbike.
MEDIUM ROUTE
Road that extends totally along the orographic right of the Dora Baltea, starting from Villeneuve up to Saint Vincent, or from Montjovet up to Pont Saint Martin.
The route also involves long stretches of the Via Francigena.
Totally asphalted road, it passes through many villages including the vineyards and apple orchards of Jovencan and Gressan. Also frequented by cars, but with low traffic density.
Suitable for all types of handbikes.
CHALLENGING PATH
You can travel all the unpaved farm roads, which are very developed in the Aosta Valley, and also reach high altitudes; in particular, we like the one that starting from the water intake of the Valpelline aqueduct runs, with a panoramic view over Aosta, the Coumba Freida valley and allows you to admire all the surrounding mountains.
Another interesting proposal concerns the track which, starting from Saint Vincent, after a short asphalted stretch leads onto a path forbidden by the cars, climbs up to Colle di Joux or col Zucore, passing through the Colle di Arlaz, where with a short detour you can visit the nature reserve of Lake Villa in the municipality of Challant Saint Victor, a true jewel of nature.
This route is recommended for people who are very well trained, or equipped with electric vehicles.
