    Route with breathtaking views, technically challenging descents, bike mountaineering sections and portage that will make you "suffer" and enjoy every meter. Several points offer fantastic views of Valle dei Laghi on clear days. The route starts from Molveno, crosses the Brenta Natural Park, reaches Andalo, where it climbs to Cima Paganella, then descends to Lake Toblino, with some sections on the single trail used by the legendary Transalp. To complete the route, follow MTB812 (Ude's Trail) and MTB784 (From Top to Lake). To return to Molveno/Andalo, you can ride or book a transfer: Rigotti: +39 339 2950824; whatsapp: +39 340 9626964

    It is a route suitable exclusively for expert riders.

    Author’s recommendation

    Route reserved for more experienced riders.

    Pay attention to the operating hours of the lifts.

    Along the route there is a pushing section  (10 minutes) and a "portage" section (bike on shoulder - 5 minutes).

    It is possible to return without a transfer, using the MTB 804 route which from Ranzo goes back to Nembia.

    The restaurant "La Tana dell'Ermellino" and the refuges "La Roda" and "Bait del Germano" are ideal spots for a typical lunch or a break to regain energy.

    Along the route there are several fountains to refill water: at the former Forest Nursery, in Loc. Priori, and in the town centers of Margone and Ranzo.

    Spectacular views alternate throughout the entire route, bring your camera.

    Safety information

    Route reserved for Experts.

    DPB Rules:  http://www.dolomitipaganellabike.com/trentino/it/noi/regolamento

    1 Use open trails

    Respect the trail and access bans. Check with landowners or authorities if in doubt about the ban reasons or the trail condition. Respect private property. If necessary, request permits to access trails.

    2 Leave no trace

    Respect the territory. Wet and muddy trails are more vulnerable than dry ones. Consider other cycling options when the ground is soft. Stay on existing trails and do not create new ones. Do not take shortcuts by cutting corners. Take your waste with you.

    3 Ride carefully

    A moment of distraction can endanger you and others. Respect speed limits and ride in a way that you always control the bike.

    4 Yield correctly

    Make sure other trail users know you’re about to overtake with a friendly greeting or bell. Always assume someone could be behind a corner. Cyclists must yield to all non-motorized trail users, unless the trail is clearly bike-only. Downhill cyclists must yield to uphill cyclists, unless the trail is marked as one-way downhill. Ensure every overtake is safe and polite.

    5 Do not scare animals

    Animals startle easily from sudden approaches, movements or noises. Give them enough space and time to get used to your presence. Pay special attention when passing horses; if uncertain, ask the rider.

    6 Plan your rides

    Know your gear, skills and the area where you ride and prepare accordingly. Strive to be self-sufficient: maintain your gear and carry essentials for weather or other changes. Always wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear (downhill protection plus lights and reflectors if riding at night).

    As you can imagine, trail passability in a mountain environment is closely related to current conditions and depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather. Therefore, the information in this sheet may have changed. Before departure, check the trail status by contacting hut managers, alpine guides, nature park visitor centers and tourist offices.

    Fatto qualche anno fà in muscolare. I tratti in portage sono pochi. Vai tranquillo.

    Quant'è il dislivello in salita senza considerare gli impianti?
    ciao, c'è qualche guida o visita guidata in gruppo che si può fare?
    Ci sono impianti da prendere o è tutto pedalato? io lo farei partendo da Andalo. Grazie
