A 57 km long cycle route connecting the Brenta Dolomites to Lake Idro.
The cycle path through Val Rendena, the Giudicarie Centrali and Valle del Chiese
Riding from the Brenta Dolomites to Lake IdroThis 57 km cycle path connects the Brenta Dolomites to Lake Idro via Val Rendena, the Giudicarie Centrali and Valle del Chiese. It is also known as the Ciclovia dei fiori, or “Cycle Through the Flowers”, due to the many floral species found along it in spring and early summer. The route offers the chance to immerse yourself in an idyllic environment, explore Alpine towns and valleys, and discover historical, cultural and artistic treasures.
Whether you’re riding a traditional bicycle or mountain bike, powered under your own steam or with some electric assistance, you’ll cross through woods and meadows, over wooden bridges and boardwalks, all nestled deep in the greenery and with the pleasant rushing sound of the Sarca and Chiese rivers for company. At certain points, if you look up, you can catch a glimpse of the peaks of the Brenta Dolomites and the Adamello-Presanella glaciers, in the Adamello-Brenta Nature Park.
the routeStarting at the highest point, the cycle path descends from Carisolo along Val Rendena to arrive at Tione di Trento, where it forks in two. The route to the left leads towards Ragoli and the Ponte Pià lake, while the one on the right continues on to the town of Bolbeno, connecting with Bondo via the Madonna del Lares road (the section has significant gradients and is mixed with car traffic), before finally joining the Valle del Chiese cycle path to Lake Idro.
