The cycle route from the Brenta Dolomites to Lake Idro

The cycle route, long 57 kilometers, crosses woods and meadows, wooden bridges and walkways immersed in greenery, connecting the Brenta Dolomites to Lake Idro, through the Val Rendena, the Central Giudicarie, and the Chiese Valley.

The cycle route that connects the Brenta Dolomites to Lake Idro, through the Val Rendena, the Central Giudicarie, and the Chiese Valley, is 57 kilometers long. Also called the “cycle route of flowers” for the numerous floral species encountered in spring and early summer, it is an opportunity to reach alpine valleys and villages, immerse yourself in a suggestive natural environment, and discover historical, cultural, and artistic treasures. On a bicycle or mountain bike, muscle-powered or electric version, you cross woods and meadows, wooden bridges and walkways immersed in greenery, accompanied by the pleasant murmur of the Sarca and Chiese rivers, while in some points, looking upwards, you can glimpse the spires of the Brenta Dolomites and the glaciers of the Adamello-Presanella, in the Adamello Brenta Natural Park. Starting from the highest altitude, the cycle route descends from Carisolo along the Val Rendena arriving at Tione di Trento where it splits into two directions: to the left it leads towards Ragoli and the basin of Ponte Pià, to the right it continues towards the village of Bolbeno, connecting to Bondo along the Madonna del Lares road (this section has significant slopes and is mixed with car traffic) and finally entering the cycle path of the Chiese Valley to reach Lake Idro. ATTENTION: The Val Rendena cycle-pedestrian path, in its initial section from Loc. Tulot to the Pineta of Pinzolo, is closed until the completion of works related to the Pinzolo bypass (13/12/2027 and in any case until the end of the works). The alternative route is from Carisolo, at Loc. Antica Vetreria: cross the bridge and follow the shared-use section along the right bank of the Sarca River up to Loc. Pineta.
