ALPS OFFROAD: Most beautiful rides in Piedmont - Maira Varaita to Colle Valcavera
Welcome to the valleys Maira, Stura and Varaita - and to the breathtaking mountain passes, ridge roads and old military trails, that connect this region in the Italien Piedmont region.
If someone would ask me, where paradise is, I would answer, that paradise must be a place in the mountains. Not because you are closer to the sky, and closer to heaven, but because paradise can only be, where your heart beats a bit louder from excitment and astonishment.
Let me take you to a place, that made my heart sing from joy, to some of the most beautiful valleys of the alps, to the most stunning roads that you could imagine to travel on a motorcycle - and one of the most exciting dirt- and gravelroads in Italy, the Varaita Maira Ridge Road:

Absolutely stunning place and if i win the lottery I will happily retire on the highest mountain there ☺️. Definitely my heaven.Thanks Lea for a beautiful video.👍💐
You were right Lea - absolutely stunning - thanks for taking us on the ride, stay safe.
"Paradise should be somewhere on mountains " loved this
With views like that they are no wrong roads. Those cow path roads are great. Done a many a mile of those. Very few autos or people. Many here in the eastern mountains of US with beautiful views. But there are only one set of Alps. Much enjoyed.
Some tricky tracks with cloud chasing and thankfully no Winebagos! A beautiful gem of an area. Really lovely.
You made me laugh out loud today! lol. What a magnificent ride. I'm glad you made it safely. Thank you for sharing!
Lea Jaw Dropping Scenery!!! Only you could capture the beauty and wonder of this place the way you did! Breathtaking footage Lady!!! Now you get 2 dozen + 1 roses beautiful Lady!!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 + 🌹 Ride SAFE and BE safe Lea! 🙌👏👏👏👏👏👌👍✌🤙🙂👋

The Alps are always so beautiful 😄
Beautiful indeed, so much to see n floating thru the scenery like a dream..N coffee☕
What stunning country you have just shown us. Wow, just WOW !!
Wow! Crazy beautiful! There were some definitely steep drop offs. Made my heart flutter. I wouldn’t have moved either and you were Stopped. So that was her issue for sure! Best!
Oh, yes so beautiful and thank you very much for the great shots . Driving the beautiful connections in the Alps, as maira stara, assietta, lgks, is so impressive and sooooooo close to heaven 😍thank you very much, many memories have been awakend, take care 🤗
Stunning scenery and amazing drone footage, thanks.
Magnifique !!! A place to be, a place to ride.
Wonderful images, accompanied by relaxing music. Thank you from Brazil!
You said your video was going to have stunning scenery and breathtaking views and WOW did you deliver! This video is almost magical the way the mountains and sky combine for some of the most beautiful video you have ever shared. Thanks again for taking us along for the ride.
Beautiful episode! You are without a doubt the queen of that drone!
What a ride. Id be nervous on some of them roads. So beautiful. Great video as always.
So beautiful. I wanted this video to be twice as long.
The difference between behind the scenes and after the Camera is mysterios 🙃🤔😆😆 so good
That surely beats the view outside of my window in suburban New Jersey. I'm putting my eyes back into my head now. They popped out about 4 minutes in to this video. Absolutely beautiful, I agree.
Merci encore à toi pour ce splendide voyage .Amitié de Bordeaux

extremely beautiful !! and the hotel and the food !! wow😍
You are a legend ❤️
😍📷🏍💕gorgeous scenery and roads!
Wow! So beautiful! That's awesome they let you park in the barn. That place you stayed is amazing. The food looked so delicious! Oh no! More roads closed. 😟I'm not surprised. You did give us a heads up last week. Take care and ride safe!
Everytime amazing Lea, I looked at the beautiful scenery and almost breathless
WOW breath taking picturest, beautiful and many more words , the scenes at the 19 + minute running time the absolute best , but I agree a bit sketchy passing others , thank you lea I do believe that show will be hard to beat , but try lol
Lea, the footage is mesmerizing. I can't wait to go on my bike but this is Sweden and I have to wait a month or two. I'm so glad that I have your wonderful videos to enjoy.
Those were epic landscape shots. Amazing roads.
Awesome roads. The gravel was a bit scary and I wouldn't do it two up with luggage. The asphalt is my limit. Great ride. Thanks.
Absolutely fantastic, simply amazing. I’m going to watch it again and again. I must ride these roads too and stay at the same place. Everything, just the way I would like it. We’ll done both of you.

What a stunning ride again Lea, thank you again. And so glad the dog decided not to capture your drone, than we had to miss some beautiful pictures. See you next week, greetings from the Netherlands.
Omg that was amazing, my favourite area to, so nice to have a long film too. You were so brave biking on that rough narrow road. Well done, I loved this video. Amazing quality too. Wasn’t that accommodation stunning..
absolutely love your new adventure, thanks a lot C for all the amazing impressions and all the backgrounds!! watching your video
"Breathtaking" views is right. You know, we didn't have any Alps back in Texas, and even less here in Florida! I've seen pictures, of course, but now I feel like I've come close to being there. Thanks so much for the inspiringly well done video!
What a wonderful ride! Thanks for sharing.
Stunning scenery Lea, must have been a hell of an adventure, laughed at the mountain bike lady waving you over and swearing. Looking forward to next week.
Welcome in Italy 🇮🇹💙
Amazing ride Lea! The Alps are so magical. I can't wait to see them again. We have nice mountains in California, but they are not the Alps. Love your videos as always, they are the best!-Jim
Amazing views. Thanks for taking us along.
Just beautiful views... thank you so much... this is also where I have to go this year, Top Tip!
Great video footage of a beautiful ride!
Fantastic ride! Paved roads, dirt roads, mountain passes, great hotel. What more can you ask for?
👍 Now... in end ....when i calculates all my 50's comments about this vlog.... very difficult ..in only single word ... "Stunning" 👍
Your trip inspired me and a friend to cross the French-Italian border at the Col de la Lombarde. After Demonte we went on to the Colle Fauniera, had our lunch in Marmora, on to Col d’Sampeyre. After that we went back to France crossend the border at the Colle Dell’Angello. Thanks for making everyone part of your travels. Stay save.
💚👍👍👍 Beutiful countries....coolllllll
just the area where I plan to go you confirm my choice
Wow absolutely beautiful 🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦 love to get to that area one day🤓

Another pass better than the last!! Oh so beautiful. I hit the "LIKE" way before this was over!! Thanks for this trip adventure!!
متابع من العراق السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته كل التوفيق أن شاء الله 🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤
Io vivo in Piemonte...;-) Valle Maira & Valle Varaita sono veramente dei posti bellissimi!!!!! :-)))) Super Video!!!
What a fantastic set of mountain passes, I have just shown this to my son and it looks like next year’s summer travels plans are looking good. Thank you for sharing such a brilliant destination.
Great video and so fine roads. Looking forward to your next episode.
Amazing.one part,and the music nearly had me in tears! Phil,in england
TP is really a wise guy. The last pass, road, valley, etc. is ever the best. I´ll see it with my own eyes and yes, it is! Holy shit, Varaita Maira is absolute f***ing bad. ( I believe i´d choosen it too 😀) You deserved the biggest beer, for your work. BTW, you never have wrong choises during a ride on the bike inside the alps. Thxi for this great episode 😙
What a magnificant scenery. I so want to go for a ride in that area. 👍
Wow! Stunning...thanks for the Vlog!🙂👍
What a great video. I really enjoyed it.
Guys… what can I say! 😍 I (Andrea) spent a bunch of summer vacations in Demonte with my uncle family and did many treks in Val Maira and Vale Stura… you made me remember such a beautiful time of my life that I spent in nature! Now I want to go back to those places by motorcycle!!! 😊

You definitely should! Might be even better on a bike than the memories you already made there
Ok 👌👍 super Lea 😸
Beautiful, awesome and spectacular
Thanks Lea for having told so well the valleys of the mountains that I know very well and that I often tour. She made me really happy that it was one of your favorite days !! Come back to Piedmont there is still a lot to see! On the other hand Piedmont in Italian literally means at the foot of the mountains! Soon.
Beautiful scenery through out the way, especially restaurant location is much impressive !
A very enjoyable ride. In my opinion these tours in south and central Europe are really really interesting for us up here in the North. Thank you.
Fantastic video! Thank you.! ..i'm from Valle Maira (my father from Dronero and my mum from Acceglio) now I live in Valle Varaita and I love so much our valleys! Thank you for your visit and your video- work!
Wonderful vlogs from a wonderful woman,, greetings from Iraq ❤
Wonderfull trip. Those mountains 😍 what a very heavy trip.
Thanks Lea,your video today was very exciting.
