<p>The <strong>57-kilometer-long cycle route</strong> crosses woods, meadows, wooden bridges, and footbridges surrounded by greenery, <strong>connecting the Brenta Dolomites to Lake Idro</strong>, through Val Rendena, the Giudicarie Centrali and Valle del Chiese. </p>
<p>This <strong>57 km cycle path </strong>connects the <strong>Brenta Dolomites to Lake Idro</strong> via <strong>Val Rendena</strong>, the <strong>Giudicarie Centrali</strong> and <strong>Valle del Chiese</strong>. 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 <strong>idyllic environment</strong>, explore <strong>Alpine towns</strong> and <strong>valleys</strong>, and discover <strong>historical</strong>, <strong>cultural</strong> and <strong>artistic treasures</strong>.</p> <p>Whether you’re riding a traditional bicycle or mountain bike, powered under your own steam or with some electric assistance, you’ll cross through <strong>woods and meadows</strong>, over <strong>wooden bridges</strong> and <strong>boardwalks</strong>, all nestled deep in the greenery and with the pleasant rushing sound of the <strong>Sarca</strong> and <strong>Chiese rivers</strong> for company. At certain points, if you look up, you can catch a glimpse of the peaks of the <strong>Brenta Dolomites</strong> and the <strong>Adamello-Presanella glaciers</strong>, in the <strong>Adamello-Brenta Nature Park</strong>.</p> <p>Starting at the highest point, the cycle path descends from <strong>Carisolo</strong> along Val Rendena to arrive at <strong>Tione </strong>di Trento, where it forks in two. The route to the left leads towards <strong>Ragoli </strong>and the Ponte Pià lake, while the one on the right continues on to the town of <strong>Bolbeno</strong>, connecting with <strong>Bondo</strong> 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 <strong>Lake Idro</strong>.</p>
