Predazzo
Directions
From Predazzo, the route climbs the Travignolo valley. Following the signs for MTB route 933, you pass under the Sottosassa cliffs, cross the suspension bridge, and finally reach the Fortebuso dam, cycling along the shore of this peaceful blue lake. Upon reaching Paneveggio - following the signs for MTB route 934 - you cross the main road leading to Passo Rolle and enter the forest, skirting the clear waters of the Travignolo stream. From Pian dei Casoni, you enter Val Venegia, an extraordinarily beautiful gem that leads to Baita Segantini at the foot of Cimon della Pala, where a souvenir photo is a must. The return via the meadows of Passo Rolle takes you, with a short stretch of trail (dismount), back to Pian dei Casoni and Paneveggio. From there - following the signs for MTB route 932 - you climb towards Forte Dossaccio (reachable with a short detour) and then descend to Bellamonte mostly on a dirt road. From there, you descend onto SS 50 until Località Zaluna, where a secondary road leads back to Predazzo.
