ALTERNATIVE The "Sounding Firs" - Tour 933

Along all routes, always pay attention to other people and vehicles coming from both directions. MTB routes are not for bikers only.

After windstorm Vaia in October 2018, forest roads are used also by heavy vehicles to transport wood.

When riding on streets, bikers have to respect the traffic code just like drivers.

Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

Once past the bridge, follow a short path with a few steps. This is where the alternative route to the original one begins: turn right and follow the dirt track uphill towards Bellamonte. When you reach the SS 50 main road, turn left onto it, pass through the village and head down towards Predazzo. Once past the Hotel Zaluna, take the small road on the left which winds down through meadows dotted with charming wooden huts. The final stretch of the route follows a path running alongside the bank of the Travignolo stream until you reach the bridge and the asphalted road crossing Predazzo village. 

The return journey to Paneveggio can be made via the same route, or along the main road, or by public transport (check timetables before setting off).

1. An adequate water supply according to your needs (considering temperature, possibility of refuelling and duration of the route)
2. Plenty of snacks (for example, dried fruit or energy bars)
3. Waterproof / Windproof jacket.
4. A spare top / spare socks. (Descending in a sweaty garment, will make you cold)
5. Suncream
6. Sunglasses
7. Bike gloves/mitts
8. Map or GPS device
9. Bike repair kit for punctures and mechanical breakdowns
10. First aid kit

It is always advised to let someone know where you plan to go and how long you expect to be.
