Starting point
Cavalese
Directions

Starting from the center of Cavalese, head towards Tesero and, following the signs of MTB route 923, climb the Spianez meadows. Reach the village of Varena, then cross the town of Daiano to climb to Locality Ganzaie and continue through the forest until arriving above the village of San Lugano. After descending the homonymous pass, continue uphill on an asphalt road until reaching the typical small village of Anterivo from which you can see in the distance the Val di Cembra and Monte Bondone. The route continues to Capriana, then pedal towards Carbonare and finally descend quickly with some hairpins on the state road that leads to Molina di Fiemme. From here, take the road to Passo Manghen and then to Locality Arodolo, continuing again on gravel until reaching Masi di Cavalese. A last effort returns you to the center of Cavalese.

It is recommended to download the GPX track of the route and follow it on your smartphone.
