Moena - Passo San Pellegrino - Rifugio Fuciade - Moena

<p>This tour allows you to reach by mountain bike the wonderful basin of Fuciade, running through the entire San Pellegrino valley.</p>

<p>From the square in Moena, follow the main road towards Soraga. After about 50 m, at the crossroads, turn right and take "Strada de Someda" which, with a pronounced gradient, leads to the hamlet of the same name. At the crossroads, keep right and exit the settlement through "Strada de Sèn Roch". Pass by the First World War Austrian fort and continue on paved road, alternating short stretches with a moderate gradient with flat sections. Follow the course of "Rif de Sèn Pelegrin" stream from above until reaching, in "Ronchi" area ("I Ronc"), the valley station of "Lusia" gondola and, after a steep but brief climb, the bridge over San Pellegrino stream. Cross the main road and take the forest road on the right ("Le Tenebre"), which runs parallel to the stream. The route features long, flat or slightly uphill, stretches, interrupted at regular intervals by three rather steep ramps, which however don’t exceed 200/250 metres in length. "Vaia" storm of 2018 wiped away a large portion of wood, making the itinerary more open and sunnier. Go past the area of "Fango" and continue towards San Pellegrino Pass. At Malga Negritella hut keep right, go up the dirt road towards the cabins of "Ciamp de l'Ors" and pedal following the well-beaten track. Exit near the pass and filter in the main road. Once reached the pass, go down the other side for about 200 m and, at a track overpass, take a left on the road that leads to the parking nearby Hotel Miralago; here, take the mostly flat dirt road that allows you to reach Fuciade basin. For the return, shortly after Fuciade hut, at the crossroads turn left and descend along the steep, narrow road that, passing in front of Malga Boer hut, ends up on San Pellegrino’s state road. Climb back to the pass and then face the long descent towards Moena.</p>
