Description Details Turn-by-turn directions How to get there Equipment

The route leads through the dense woods of the Cembra Valley on comfortable forest roads straddling Trentino and South Tyrol. The path partly crosses the Monte Corno Natural Park and some evocative biotope areas.

Starting from the bucolic Lago Santo, the route passes many huts and traverses evocative biotope areas. The view extends far to the Adige valley or the foothills of the Lagorai Range. A recommended route in spring among the green buds or in autumn with its explosion of warm colors.

Safety guidelines

IMPORTANT

Traffic on all routes is two-way; always pay attention to other vehicles and people. The paths are not exclusively for bicycles. Following the Vaia storm (October 2018), forest roads are used by heavy vehicles for logging and wood transport.
