Safety information
1 Ride Open Trails
Respect trail and road closures — ask a land manager for clarification if you are uncertain about the status of a trail. Do not trespass on private land. Obtain permits or other authorization as required. Be aware that bicycles are not permitted in areas protected as state or federal Wilderness
2 Leave No Trace
Be sensitive to the dirt beneath you. Wet and muddy trails are more vulnerable to damage than dry ones. When the trail is soft, consider other riding options. This also means staying on existing trails and not creating new ones. Don't cut switchbacks. Be sure to pack out at least as much as you pack in.
3 Control Your Bicycle
Inattention for even a moment could put yourself and others at risk. Obey all bicycle speed regulations and recommendations, and ride within your limits.
4 Yield Appropriately
Do your utmost to let your fellow trail users know you're coming — a friendly greeting or bell ring are good methods. Try to anticipate other trail users as you ride around corners. Bicyclists should yield to other non-motorized trail users, unless the trail is clearly signed for bike-only travel. Bicyclists traveling downhill should yield to ones headed uphill, unless the trail is clearly signed for one-way or downhill-only traffic. In general, strive to make each pass a safe and courteous one.
5 Never Scare Animals
Animals are easily startled by an unannounced approach, a sudden movement or a loud noise. Give animals enough room and time to adjust to you. When passing horses, use special care and follow directions from the horseback riders (ask if uncertain). Running cattle and disturbing wildlife are serious offenses.
6 Plan Ahead
Know your equipment, your ability and the area in which you are riding and prepare accordingly. Strive to be self-sufficient: keep your equipment in good repair and carry necessary supplies for changes in weather or other conditions. Always wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear.
Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

Turn-by-turn directions
Pedal in blissful tranquillity along safe cycle paths, country tracks and hillside trails, following this simple, well-balanced route which is ideal for families and all those who get on their bikes to unwind and discover the world around them.
The trail is the right choice for those who wish to enjoy the mountains and explore the amazing horizons, but who also want to indulge their passion for cycling at a more laid-back pace. Cycling along the valley floor, Trentino’s agricultural tradition becomes apparent as you pass farms, apple orchards and vineyards, cross pasture land and cycle through thick woodlands before coming to picturesque ancient hamlets nestling quietly in the green countryside. Suitable for all levels, the Country Trail runs virtually parallel to its big brother, the Expert Trail, but avoids climbs with more demanding gradients and is designed to allow less expert cyclists to nonetheless enjoy the beauty of the Brenta Dolomites. And for the more challenging sections of the trail, a transfer service in the form of buses and trains equipped to carry bikes will shuttle you conveniently to your destination.
The Country Trail includes some of Trentino’s most beautiful cycle paths and takes in enchanting scenery; majestic mountains reflected in crystal clear lakes, the unspoilt territory of the Adamello Brenta Natural Park, far from the suffocating heat and mugginess of the plain, in the rejuvenating peace and tranquillity of the mountains.
