Variant of the 743. Bocca di Tovo Trail-Tour. Short, intense trail that reduces the total distance by 8 km.

Signage: 743b. Variante Rancion - Trail

After 16.5 km, at the hamlet of Rancion, a forest road branches off to the left then turns into a trail. It’s steep and some of it is loose gravel, but it’s very manageable for experienced cyclists.

Safety guidelines

ITRS - International Trail Rating System

The ITRS is an objective way to assess trails and routes from a biker’s perspective, evaluating four aspects:

  • Technical Difficulty: riding skill level needed
  • Endurance: combined effect of length, uphill and downhill
  • Wilderness: amount of planning required based on mobile phone reception, rescue options, water supply and wildlife
  • Exposure: consequences of a fall

Discover more about the ITRS system and check the classification of this tour in the photo gallery.
