This spectacular route runs mainly on forest roads, but also includes technical sections on paths. The pristine forests and pastures of the western Lagorai chain contribute to its charm, as does the opportunity to enjoy pleasant stops at Malga Vernera.
CODE OF CONDUCT FOR SUSTAINABLE BIKING:
ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET!
We start in Montesover just north of the church, on the road leading to Baita monte Pat and Malga Vernera, and proceed on a steep asphalt road, ignoring various forks with dirt roads. You thus quickly reach an altitude of 1400 m after about 3.5 km. Continuing on asphalt with a less demanding gradient in the direction of Malga Vernera, ignore the junction for Valfloriana and leave Baita Monte Pat on the left (refreshment point with a pleasant view). After about 2.5 km you reach Malga Vernera Bassa (1676 m): the view opens up among the meadows used for grazing, dominated by a small alpine church. Continue along the forest road (signpost no. 468 SAT) on a slightly uphill slope. At a crossroads, leave trail no. 468 and continue to the right. Initially you will come across small constructions called "baiti": here the forest road becomes a path (468/B) and near the hump begins the rather demanding descent (of about 300m) that will take you to the forest road below. The tour continues to the right down a 'concrete' section to the crossroads that you travelled uphill to earlier, ending the tour at Montesover.
Montesover can be reached with the B 403 and B 404 extra-urban public transport lines.
Coming from the A22 Brennero motorway (from the south Trento Sud exit - from the north Trento Nord exit) and the Brennero state road 12, follow the S.S. 47 della Valsugana to Pergine Valsugana - Padova to the Mochena junction for Altopiano di Piné, then take the S.P. 83 di Piné to Montesover.
