As you can imagine, the practicability of routes in a mountain environment is closely linked to conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this sheet may have changed. Before setting off, find out about the status of the route by contacting the manager of the huts on your route, mountain guides, nature park visitor centres and tourist offices.

An electrifying descent immediately followed by a climb will bring you back first to Malga Fregasoga and then to Malga Vasoni Bassa (km 21 to km 21.7 possible pushing sections due to falling trees). A long forest section in an enchanted forest leads to the intersection with other tours (866- Malga Vernera, 864-Malga Sas), not far from Malga Monte Pat. Watch out from here for the challenging descent to the village. There is no lack of passing through the village of Montesover, temporarily leaving the woods and returning to civilization.

ATTENTION TEMPORARY CLOSURE for forest work: after the village of Montesover at the small church just outside the village, do not take the path through the woods uphill but continue on the road “Rione del Borgo” and then on the provincial road to the junction Maso Sveseri where you will resume the original route.

Reaching Maso Sveseri you lose altitude and passing the barn just below Sveseri you return to the forest halfway up the Avisio valley to the Rio Brusago, which you skirt to the village of the same name, closing the tour at the starting point, Centrale.

Coming from the A22 Brennero motorway (from the south, exit Trento south - from the north, exit Trento north) and the Brennero state road 12, follow the S.S. 47 della Valsugana to Pergine Valsugana - Padua to the Mochena junction for Altopiano di Piné, then take the S.P. 83 di Piné to the sports centre at Centrale di Bedollo.

• An adequate water supply according to your needs (considering temperature, possibility of refuelling and duration of the route)
• Plenty of snacks (for example, dried fruit or energy bars)
• Waterproof / Windproof jacket.
• A spare top / spare socks. (Descending in a sweaty garment, will make you cold)
• Suncream
• Sunglasses
• Bike gloves/mitts
• Map or GPS device
• Bike repair kit for punctures and mechanical breakdowns
• First aid kit

It is always advised to let someone know where you plan to go and how long you expect to be.
