Val di Sole Cycling Path

Family-friendly cycle path that runs beside the River Noce in Val di Sole. 

Running alongside the River Noce for almost all its length, the 35 km Val di Sole cycle path goes from Cogolo di Pejo to Mostizzolo, following the old roads between villages, on riverbanks and through the countryside. It is an easy route, covering a total difference in altitude of 565 metres. <p>Various routes are possible, using the <a href="https://www.visitvaldisole.it/en/bike-train">Dolomiti Express train (Train-Bike service) and the Bici Bus</a>, specifically equipped to carry bikes, to integrate routes or as an easy way to travel up from the valley bottom. Bikes are also available for hire from numerous places throughout the valley.</p> <p>THE ROUTE:</p> <p><b>THE UPPER PART – FROM COGOLO TO OSSANA</b><br/>The cycle path starts in the town of Cogolo, and after a short uphill stretch it leads down to the roughest part of the River Noce. Enjoy the inebriating majesty of its waters and the cool breeze they create.</p> <p><b>THE CENTRAL PART – FROM OSSANA TO MALÈ</b><br/>From Ossana to Mezzana: the route alternates level and slight downhill stretches, passing the pretty villages of Ossana and Pellizzano. Pedalling below Castel San Michele will definitely be an exciting experience.<br/>From Mezzana to Daolasa: still downhill and you can stop off in Daolasa to see the Mountain Bike World Cup race venue or take a ride on the cable car up to 2000m asl, offering one of the best views of the Brenta Dolomites.<br/>From Daolasa to Malè: probably the easiest part of the entire cycle path. Through green meadows it will be fun to drop down alongside the River Noce, observing young and old having fun as they enjoy rafting down the famous waters of this Solandro river.</p> <p><b>THE LOWER PART – FROM MALÈ TO MOSTIZZOLO</b><br/>From Malé, the main town in Val di Sole, downhill to Mostizzolo, with a few gentle climbs and descents through the apple orchards in the valley bottom. At the end of the cycle path, you can ride back the same way or use the Train + Bike service for your return.</p>
