All Monferrato in One Quad: Monferrato Experience, Moleto

Meeting the landscape of Monferrato's hills, the various morphologies of the land, the suggestive views and scenery, the diversified nature, the traditional villages: in only two hours this also could be possible, thanks to Monferrato Experience, that offer excursion with two-seat quad.

Curious to try we reach, in a Saturday afternoon, the suggestive Bar Chiuso, placed on the top of the hill of Moleto, where are waiting for us Marco and Salvatore that will accompany us in this new adventure.

We wear the helmet and we are shortly instructed about the driving controls of the quad, a kind of motorcycle with four big wheels able to go through any kind of terrain and to overcome any holes and hollows on the ground. A nod from Marco, at the head of the caravan and we give gas to our vehicles that taking forward and we proceed in a single line.

A short part on the asphalt, to take confidence with the controls and the drive, and immediately we take an unpaved downhill among the vineyards. After some incertitude while facing the first holes, we gain quickly the mastery of the bike and we begin to accelerate and we begin the path.
We advance through small streets on the cultivated fields and paths on the wood, passing in a short time, from the bottom of the valleys to the ridge of the hills, from which we can admire the nature, sighting different animals and also some raptors.

In this way, we are pleased by the diversity of the Monferrato environment and we discovery hidden corners and an incredible succession of views and landscapes.
Also the soil it changes fast: asphalted straight roads, tight bends and small hairpin, thrilling downhills, steep climbs and also holes and mud. Every obstacle is easily overcame thanks to the quad versatility.

The route unfold the areas of Ottiglio, Olivola, Grazzano Badoglio and the suggestive "Valle dei Frati" before to arrive back to the starting point in Moleto.
A bit dusty and full of adrenaline we are happily back from this adventure that is for everyone and from which are offered different kinds of paths, more easy for beginners or more extreme for experts.
