Thought with the E-Bike in mind, Issalo is a complete, all-rounded uphill E-Bike trail. The constant angle, the challenges that keep you on your toes and the terrain variety within one only trail are breathtaking. From the first sweepy section to the top steep and tecky bits, Issalo has it all to be the perfect E-Bike experience.

      It was a climbe trail ONCE. Not at the moment it starts ok and then it just disappears. If you look closely you can see some tree markings here and there but it's not maintained at all and it passes through some private land. Probably that's why it's not maintained. Do not attempt!! 👎👎

      Confermo: provato a fare ieri 23/6/25...dopo un inizio che illude, diventa sporco e infattibile. Non tentare di farlo se non viene sistemato (mi hanno detto che ci sono problemi di passaggio in proprietà privata).

      There is NO way!!! You can't ride, and you can't walk there!
      Please delete that trail in the Liste
