Wir bieten die Ausrüstung an, um unser Territorium zu erkunden
Mountain Bike
Thanks to „La Piutà“ Association, at our structure, from this summer you will have the possibility to rent 2 electric assisted pedal mtb: UMB-3 Crossover. With these bikes you can travel far and wide our valleys, following the various forest trails and dirt roads. Thanks to the electric motor assisting the pedaling by an electronic circuit, even if you are not skilled bikers, you will be able to run along these various itineraries. Depending on the degree of assistance required, on the ground, surface and weight of the person, you will be able to ride up to 70 kilometers in full autonomy.
Joelette
The “Joelette” is a one-wheel chair with two shafts: one in front and the other behind the seat, in order to drive or to carry it, if necessary. A suspension, a brake and a jack to adjust the shafts, complete the Joëlette features. Its use requires minimum 2 assistants. The Joëlette can be adapted to personal disability. With the Joëlette, it is possible to travel on any kind of ground, given a minimum width of 1 meter and no steps higher than 40-50 cm. It allows to frequent outdoor spaces otherwise precluded to all people with motor disabilities. With the help of a Joëlette, people with motor difficulties will be able to leave conventional transportation means and enter the nature surrounding Balme along various difficulty itineraries.
Snowshoes
At Les Montagnards, together with „La Piutà“ Association equipment, you will find 40 pairs of snowshoes in order to also meet groups’ needs. Reservations are suggested to ensure you will find the equipment on the day of your outing. The snowshoes are easily adjustable and can be adapted to any kind of shoes (outdoor footwear recommended, at most after ski boots).
With snowshoes you will be able to explore Balme snowy nature. Beginners will find two easy-to-follow itineraries, for which the Balme Municipality guarantees the traversability according to weather and snow conditions. We remind you that, according to actual laws concerning snow terrain safety, people frequenting the backcountry, must be equipped with Arva (avalanche transceiver), shovel and probe unless they follow trails whose safety and traversability are guaranteed by a municipal administration or an institution.
Cross country ski
The „La Piutà“ Association rent cross country ski equipment at our facility. You will find skis, poles and shoes for everyone (shoe measures from 32 to 48) for the classic style only. The equipment available is enough to satisfy about 30 people. Telephone reservations are suggested.
About twenty kilometers of trails, from 1500 to 1800 meters of altitude, with various difficulty levels, are available in Balme. Once you have faced and completed the climb leading from Balme to Pian della Mussa, the different trails, all linked, wind along the plateau dominated by Uja di Ciamarella and Bessanese.
All trails are prepared for both classic and skating styles.
Ticket service is guaranteed, from Dicember to the end of March, on every weekend and holiday, depending on snow conditions.
Courtesy shuttle service
Since summer 2018 we are equipped with an 8-seater multivan also set up for transportation of people with disabilities. Thus it is possible to implement the services we offer, ensuring, on customer’s request, transfers to and from the territory railway stations and airport, or luggage transportation from one posto tappa/resort to another.
Finally with this vehicle we can provide, when required or necessary, service to our partners, with whom we have been working for years and with whom we share an idea of tourism development in the area.
