The amazing Val Venegia and Baita Segantini - Tour 934

IMPORTANT

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.

This amazing itinerary goes through one of the most characteristic valleys of this area.

The trail runs mainly on a dirt road along Val Venegia, which leads to one of the most famous places in the Dolomites: Baita Segantini. From this privileged viewpoint at 2.200 m, you can admire the full beauty of the vertical mountain walls of the Pale di San Martino, standing right in front of them.

During the climb, long but with little difficulty, you can enjoy a nice stop at one of the mountain huts along the trail: Malga Venegia, Malga Venegiota, Malga Juribello, Baita Segantini and Capanna Cervino. On the way back, pay attention to the steep downhill section with rocks, followed by a single-track in the wood.

From Predazzo take the road towards Passo Rolle until you reach the Visitor Center of the Paneveggio Natural Park.
