The route starts from Passo Lavazè, known in winter for its splendid cross-country skiing trails. Reaching Passo Oclini at an altitude of 2,000 meters, you start pedaling on dirt. In the first downhill section you pass the Butterloch canyon, with geological stratifications in various colors. The itinerary alternates stretches of pastures offering views of the surrounding mountains and sections through woods of Swiss pine, Norway spruce, larch and broad-leaved trees. Numerous mountain huts along the way invite you to taste tasty typical dishes while admiring the Dolomites.
Stop at the panoramic viewpoint on the Butterloch canyon
Traffic on all routes is two-way, always pay attention to other vehicles and people. The routes are not exclusively for bicycles. Due to the Vaia storm (October 2018) forest roads are used by heavy vehicles for timber processing and transport.
